Tiny Dino bone?

Last week we picked up this tiny gem of a bone. Could it possible be a dinosaur bone? It was found in Myrtle Beach, SC.

It is bone, appears to be fossilized but would be mammal of some sort and not dinosaur. By size and shape I'd guess leg bone but can't get more than that.

Mosasaur and Plesiosaur are possibilities. Plenty of Peedee Formation vertebrate fossils in the area. More commonly mammal bone in the surf though. The broken end looks too dense for mammal to me but not sure if dugong parts are all relatively unporous like the ribs. Maybe a sharp close up of the broken end will help our readers.
