I am on my phone, but looks like a banded iron stone concretion to me.

I agree with Blake. 

[Dean Sr]

Again fellows its not iron it is agatized and here are some closups 1now more to follow 

[JohnJ]

Not saying it's iron; rather it appears to be an iron rich sandstone with some other silica based mineral veins running through it.

Here is another pic zoom in on the structure

It is very common for ironstone like this to have other minerals, namely quartz.

The way the quartz fractures and weathers it can take on the appearances of other materials such as bone.

It is not ironstone or sandstone I am also a rock and mineral collector age here is 67 and have collected over 50 years it may have a ferrous coating but is red agate all the way through I realize pics mean alot but being in the presence of the of the object in person has some merit also but I still value your opinion  ! Here is another pic

Certainly you may see details in hand that are not evident in the photos.    I'm still not seeing anything to indicate it's fossil bone.

This is not a solid chunk of "red agate" (jasper).

This rock looks like a metamorphosed volcanic rock that has some iron stained quartzite veins running through it.

I would call it a mica schist with stained quartz veining.

 

I have found a lot of this type rock in Arizona and New Mexico.

I don't see any bone structure...

I agree with the others. Not bone fossil.The infill of the veins could be red quartz.
