My son and I found this at McFaddin Beach southwest of Port Arthur Texas. We think it may be fossilized bone based the sticky tongue test. We are amateurs at fossil identification... So any help on confirming or correcting would be appreciated. From what I understand fossils from the pleistocene era are common along this beach. It was found near a very large area of gray clay.

We went beachcombing at McFaddin Beach near Sabine Pass, Texas yesterday and found some interesting bones as well as a mammal tooth yesterday. I am aware that most of these are likely not fossils but I was still wondering if someone can still tell me what they are.

We decided to take a trip to McFaddin Beach this past weekend since the surf had been up to see what we could find. We were there for a couple of hours; found a lot of nice seashells and the bones pictured. I am thinking the teeth are bison. The leg bones came from the "Beaumont Mud" so I am thinking bison as well but not sure.....any thoughts would be appreciated. The remaining bones are broken but if anyone would like to weigh in on them, that would be great. Thanks for your time.
