Hello please can I have people's opinions of if this is a bone or a rock. It was found on the Jurassic coast in the UK

It lacks bone structure, it seems to be weathered chert or limestone. They like to trick you with the pores...

No problem, happy to help! I use the forum in the same way, it is a great resource.
