I do not see a bone. Possibly just limestone.

 

A bone this size would be from a type of megafauna or dinosaurian, but these are extremely rare in Illinois. It's more of a chance to find Pleistocene megafauna, but it's still very rare.

Doesn't look like bone to me. More like a chert concretion, which would be more likely given the Illinois location.
