Fossilized / Petrified bone?

Found this while rock hounding in southeast South Dakota.  The color (when it was wet) caught my eye…but after getting it home and dried it out…you can see in the pictures what I believe to be bone?  Thoughts?

It does have the look, but I am not 100% convinced. Could you try to take some close-ups with better focus?

If it is a chunk of bone, not sure you can say much more about it that that.

Chunk-o-saur/Chunk-o-don.

I do think it's bone.  Sadly, I don't think it has enough identify features for me to guess at identification.  Most of the time we need at least one complete (relatively undamaged) end of a bone to help identify it, and I don't see that here.
