Good morning, I am requesting help with ID on a bone I found in the Neuse River in Craven County in eastern NC NC. I have searched google but not able to find a bone of this shape. It measures 2 inches by 2.5 inches. What throws me is the twist in the bone, probably a result of excessive wearing in the River. Thank you

Besides an assortment of the usual small shark and ray teeth, I found the following bone. Any suggestions as to a possible ID would be appreciated. Don
