Recent Find needs ID if anyone can help.

Found this fossil recently. looks like its possible tooth sockets and the material is very bone like but it has a secondary medium meshed with it, which is what alerted me to it being a fossil. i thought it was just a cool unique rock at first or a native american artifcact considering my finger fit perfectly in the socket. I thought it may be broken clay pottery or just some sort of tool. you guys think it could be from iguanadon? similar features for sure.

Welcome to the Forum! 

I suppose your specimen is a sedimentary rock with nice pholad borings.

Where was it found?

the rock is very porous and the hole is half the size of my index finger. inside the wholes is smooth at the bottom i didnt see any divits and they are fairly aligned

This piece is intriguing. I believe there are clam boring traces along the base of this piece like the earlier specimen but at first I thought tooth sockets. Maybe there are both? It appears to be a piece of bone/jaw and lighter tan colored matrix and what catches my eye are the shapes that I've circled---sheared off tooth outlines? Hoping the others can comment. Nice finds!
