Looks to me like a good old piece of chert, although the top part may be a burrow, let's see what others have to say.

I guess there was a lot of things that were moved on to my property, I found out that my property used to be a trash yard

Well that may be the origin of all the bones. Here's a link on the Ordovician  check the life section to see possible creatures that you may find, your rocks seem to be of a river, estuarine, or marine environment.

Your specimen looks like ironstone , to me.

Sure looks like ironstone, but the specific gravity of 2.25 is about half of typical ironstone.  Does it feel fairly hefty in your hand for its size?

Specific gravity matches chert roughly and chert is unmagnetic almost 100% of the time, so I'm sticking with chert.

I will throw out another idea, since his yard used to be a trash dump.  It could be the fragmented remains of some sort of pottery.  Kaolinite-based potters clay has a specific gravity within the range reported.
