Sorry, ...NOT a bird breast.

That is the internal mold of a bivalve, possibly Cucullea .

Commonly called "heartstones" or "turtle heads."

Big old clam. "Chicken of the Sea", if you wish.

Bear in mind that meat tissues generally do not petrify.

For fossils you should look for something that looks like the bone underneath the breast because that is all that would preserve. You're on the right track though, you spotted something with symmetry, a good clue it was once alive.
