NSR Mosasaur ? Bone but which part?!?

 I found this nice chunk of mosasaur (?) bone over the weekend at the North Sulphur River in Ladonia, Texas.  It has beautiful black enamel on each side that is very smooth and shiny. It has a bowl shaped curve to it on one side.  I was thinking it was a rib chunk, but I wasn’t sure with it having the curve. What do you all think?  Thank you in advance! ;)

I disagree, the structure does not look like fish to me. A few sides look pretty worn, so IDing it will be hard because of that. But the bone structure does look like reptile.

I have a small mosasaur rib chunk that was IDed, and it very similar to this one, hence my first thought that it was from the same type of reptile. I’m such a newbie at this, so I really appreciate all of the input! ;)
