Can anyone give me information on a fossil I found.

I found this fossil in Alberta on the Wapiti river near Grande Prairie. I have seen quite a few over the years and decided to grab one that was laying on the shore near a bank that erodes more and more with each passing year. I was hoping someone may have be able to tell me something about this.

The deposits around Grande Prairie and the Wapiti River are typically from the Wapiti Formation which is early Campanian late Maastrichtian in age (80-68 mya). Dinosaur remains have been found there but are not common.  If these bones eroded out of a bank its possible they are dinosaurian and may be scientifically important.
