Tiny limb (?) bone from creek in Alabama

Recommended Posts

I found this bone sieving in a creek in central Alabama.  There are Cretaceous fossils in the stream (Mooreville Chalk).

 

The scale is in centimeters.  It is about 1 cm long.  The first three pictures are 10x, the remaining ones are 30x.

 

It was intact when I got it.  Unfortunately one end broke and I glued it back together, as you can see.

 

Any idea if it may be fossil or not?

Any idea what sort of creature or body part it may be from?

 

I am very curious... :zzzzscratchchin:

Have you compared with raccoon or opossum phalanges?

I haven't found an example of those phalanges!  Anyone have one?  

 

It could be a phalange, I did not think of that.

 

Is there any want to tell if it is fossil or not?

 

Should I post this in the main fossil ID forum?
