Bone/coprolite/tooth material found at Aust Cliffs U.K

So these are the before and after of the bone fragment prep process. This material was found at Aust Cliff in the U.K it's from the Triassic. I'd love to get your opinions on what you think it could be, given that it's only a fragment it will be hard to tell. I've not left it in the sun before you ask haha that was just to take a clear picture, don't want it cracking. Thanks guys. I think ichthyosaur/plesiosaur bone fragment as these are some of the most common bones found from there. Plenty of coprolite and micro fossils visible here as well including some teeth. I prepped this myself over the course of an hour, the matrix is nice and soft and easy to get through

Try reducing the size of the image to below 1 MB and try again. 

It looks like marine reptile bone, but I can't be more specific than that.

I used to love collecting at Aust, though it was always freezing and blowing a gale. 

Even in the summer.:)

Pretty sure it’s marine reptile. Looking like a chunkasaurus tho. Try and get as many images up as possible including the ends. :)
