Looking to possibly identify the fossil directly below the 1 inch mark of the measuring tape in the first photo. Any possibly insight would be appreciated. Other fossils on this specimen include coral, bivalves, etc.

I discovered this fossil very near the summit of a 8,500 foot (2,600 meter) peak in southern Idaho. It was within a dark band of strata and there were various coral/shell fossils found in the same strata (see last photo). Amazing to me that the seafloor is now hoisted to the top of a mountain peak! I can't tell what this particular fossil is, though I immediately thought bone given the structure when I picked it up. My 8 year old is confident it is a T-Rex, but given it is near oceanic fossils, I'm doubtful. The fossil is broken and seems to be sliced in half vertically, exposing the inner part of the fossil. The ends of the fossil is also missing so hard to tell how long this could have been. Notice some bumps/ripples on the backside of he fossil (photo 6). Could this be orthoceras or something similar?

Found this Southeast Minnesota today and have no idea what it is. I was hoping someone could help identify it and maybe provide me with more information. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Pics are of both sides. Thank you in advance.
