Bone from North Texas Creek Bottom

Hi folks. New here. Glad I found the forum. 
 

My son and I found this in a creek bottom where we have found several large complete ammonites. Any ideas on what kind of bone it is?

Sorry. I'm not seeing a bone here.

Any feelings towards what it is? It definitely feels like bone. It was broken in two and had a spongy look to the middle of it.

The spongy look can be caused by infilling of a burrow. That would make it a trace fossil. A feeling is about the best I could describe it as though.
