Bone fragment?

Ok, so I went back to the river today to look again at my non-track find.  While I was there, I found this. It’s definitely a rock, but is it bone, or is it cake?  It’s bizarre, with one porous side and all pores apparently aligned the same direction.  

 

Sorry, non-Americans, I will get a metric ruler.

Same rock in both pictures?  Ones kinda oval and ones triangle it appears.  Not bone but first one looks like half a baked potato. :)

Same rock in both pictures.  The iPhone camera does some strange compression on the images, so you really can't see the detail well.  I thought it was a small section of medullary bone.  It was found in a river so is well polished on 3/4 sides.

Sorry I don't think this is bone either. A pancake needs to be flipped when it looks like this. I can only guess that the same basic principle may have been at work in the clay here.
