Good evening, can i get your opinions on if this is a fossil or not ? Taken at Aust cliffs in the uk today and about 3 or 4 inches long. There is a rusty appearance to the base stone, more so on the opposite side to that shown. Thanks for any replies

Hi, i am very new to the hobby and just wondered if this is a fossil vertebrae of sorts or not. Its about 8cm long and 4cm width. Thanks for any help. The area is known for Plesiosaur and Ichthyosaur fossils but it doesn't look right from images I've seen. more pics available but i need to make files smaller.

I recently visited Aust Cliffs by the River Severn in Bristol, UK. I believe the fossils are almost entirely Triassic, as the other layers aren't fossiliferous. These were found in broken blocks on the foreshore but most likely originated at the Rhaetian Penarth series at the top of the cliff, as this is where the bone beds are found. I can post more photos if needed, however these are the best I could get at the time on my phone. Any help would be appreciated #1 #2 #3 The black piece is hard and shiny if that helps #4 The shiny part is just over 5mm long. It looks like scales on a fish? Due to the size this is the most I could zoom in while keeping it in focus. #5 This is in a much larger block but the fossil is about 15mm long. Is it bone?
