I don't know for sure, but I sure wouldn't bet against it. It looks like a fossil to me.

Not an oddity.  Osteoderms from the Bull Canyon are seen often most are attributed to aetosaurs or phytosaurs.  Have not seen any publications from that locality that describes them.  My guess its from an archosauriform like aetosaurs.

Found these images to compare against.
