I concur
I think so, too. The fact that it's dried out makes it look less glossy and it's missing some of the typical banding you see on the mesosomal segments in live specimens, but the crenulations on the chela fingers, the carinae on the chela hands, the size, and the general coloration (especially the pale inter-ocular area) lead me to think that it's Paruroctonus boreus.
