Bone or fossil?

Hi all, we found this at the beach today - doesn't look like a marine mammal, and my guess is recent storm run off brought it down a creek. Any idea if it is a fossil or just a bone?  Seems like a cow/bison cervical vertebrae, perhaps.

I think it is recent. Can you see signs of mineralization. It is a vertebrae and it could be from a mammal (Not sure if marine or terrestrial).
