Mammal bone ID help

Hi Everyone,

 

I found this in an NJ stream where I have found other Pleistocene mammal material. Not sure if this bone is modern or not.

 

I think this is half of a large atlas vertebrae. It also appears to have a cut/saw mark.

That does look like a cut mark,  a burn test will tell you if it os modern  burning it will burn and smell bad  fossils of course do not burn.
