Thoughts? Found in Va Creek today

Thoughts? Found this heavy bone in the creek today. We have found whale bones there before. Also found what I believe is part of a vertebra along with some huge Chesapecten.

The vertebra looks modern. 

I see saw marks on the edge.

The larger, heavier piece looks like bone, but I am no expert on fossil bones.  I like the Chesapectin shells though!
