Interesting bone in coastal oregon

[Mermaid]

i found this near a recent rock slide , it was interesting and different from everything around it and had been covered in dirt so it had just seen daylight recently after a very long dirt nap! 
 

Short sand beach, Oregon

 

it passed the is it a bone test - porous / sticky

it’s hard and would be very difficult to break 

it sounds like it’s got room for air inside 

When I was cleaning it, there was a very waxy substance in some of the thin cracks. It has this horizontal line but it’s not like a crack or a scratch so maybe part of a turtle scute? 

 

this round one is similar and was nearby if it means anything

Pictures are a little blurry but looks like part of a septarian rock to me.  There are several things that can be sticky it's just one of the determining tools. Not sure what the sticky stuff would be but I think the line is some kind of mineral vein.

Septarian might not be the term, but the texture is not right to be bone.

i.e. you agree with the dog ?

Agreed that this is a rock with a (harder) mineral vein shown running through it. No bone texture or morphology. Keep looking--there may be fossils where you are looking but this is not one of them.

 

 

Cheers.
