Bone, fossil or modern, of what?

Hello all

last trip to big brook was great. Found a lot of small shark teeth and more. On my way out in a hurray I picked this up, forgot about it and stumbled on it today. 3 inches long and the texture sure looks like bone. But I am a newbie and was hoping for confirmation. I assume it’s way too small to guess from what (but if you can guess please do). Major question is whether this is a fossil or modern. Any clues from the photos? Have never done a burn test but am ready to try. Sorry to say but it feels light not heavy

tjank you

It is bone, does it feel like rock or modern bone and how heavy is it?

Doesn’t really look like Cretaceous bone from there. Pleistocene or modern, probably modern.
