Welcome to the forum

 

The texture looks wrong, also lacks blood grooves, veining,  so I would say unlikely for it to be a Ceratopsian frill.  Here are a couple of pictures with examples.  

FYI.  There are multiple ceratopsian in the HC so no way to determine if it's any frill section is from a triceratops.

hi, thank you for welcome, i win it on ebay from seller with 99% positive feedback, he selling few more dino bones and he send me a much more dino bones pictures on my email. My friend says this: There isn't much bone detail on the outside, but the overall shape does look like it could be a chunk of frill.  What's more, some of the other pieces he has listed look even more "frill-like", which makes it even more likely that yours is genuine.  

So, if i understnad good, it is no way to know it is triceratops frill, it is unlikely but not excluded.

So smaller chance is still better than any.

Thank to all for opinions, i hope for few more opinions

That said it pretty well.

But without any destinquising detail there is no way to make any identification.
