We found this fossil in our backyard.

 

We're located in southwest Florida near the Gulf of Mexico.

Any ideas what it is?

Welcome to the forum.  You have what is almost certainly a segment of dugong rib with a partial hole from rock boring clams.

You live in a paradise for fossil hunters.  Join a fossil club. or participate in the next field trip for this TFF forum in SW Florida   .
