I just finished DG and was really curious about the bone-mace kind of weapon of Mappo.

There is a description of the collection of the bones it is made from, but it's not made explicit what kind of creature they belonged to, though it is implied that it was very powerful as it already had inherent properties. I was thinking of either a perished soletaken/d'ivers or maybe even a sort of an "ascendent" weapon such as Paran's sword Chance from book one.

Does this get revealed later? I would google/wikia it but I'm afraid of other unrelated spoilers.

Here's the description of the weapon from DG

Firstly it sounds like the bone only had physical properties, not really magical in itself. It sounds like it just supported the sorcerous investment of the witches and made it possible for it to grow to it's full extent but I think that's all. Certainly don't think it's an ascendant weapon.

I don't recall it ever being revelealed what specific beast it was and google doesn't yield any results on that front, but even considering some info that we learn later soletaken is a good guess and it could explain the bone's support of sorcerous investment.

"The thigh bone - which he now held in his hands - had the shape of a bird's, yet impossibly huge and twice as thick as the hollow shaft it surrounded. Ridges appeared here and there along the shaft, where what must have been massive muscles were attached..."

This makes me think it could be an enkar'ala soletaken, or even wild enkara'ala that is not soletaken (MT SPOILER:

Spoiler

Since enkar'ala are wyval, the spawn of Starvald Demelain, the support of magic would make sense too

). Something else also comes to my mind but it's a MOI SPOILER:

Spoiler

Some K'chain, but the other options seem more likely to appear in 7C, plus this doesn't offer any straightforward explanation of the sorcery that I can see

Yeah, enkar'ala was my first thought too given the bird-like quality, but on the other hand wouldn't enkar'ala be recognizable to the Trell?

Could be from a Soletaken that transforms into a larger-than-usual version of a creature that wouldn't ordinarily leave such a large long-bone behind. There's also some large demon races it could have come from, such as perhaps an Aptorian (which are nine feet tall).

Funnily enough, my go to was a T-Rex.

That would be a sizable thigh bone even Mappo might find unweildy.
My guess is a LATER BOOK SPOILER MODGODDED OUT BUT TOTALLY SOLID THEORY.
