Hi everyone! On our most recent fossil hunt (the one where we found the teeth), we found a very interesting bone. We are trying to identify it, but there is an insane amount of ironstone on it. Are there any tips on removing ironstone? We are hesitant to try scraping it off, because we are afraid we might damage the bone surface. Any tips are welcome!

Went hunting in the Arundel formation an east coast US early cretaceous terrestrial/lacustrine facies and found this odd rock. My first thought was that it was a broken piece of machinery . It is not magnetic, though it is heavy for its size ,a flat bottomed triangular piece 2 cm on its longest axis. I have shown it to a number of people, one suggested lungfish tooth plate and several just felt that it seems to be ironstone and therefore cannt be a fossil. Lungfish toothplates have been (rarely) found in this formation. I would appreciate any help in understanding this. The last photo is a picture of my rock on a photo of a palatal lungfish toothplate.
