Hello, Vince, and a very warm welcome to TFF from Morocco! :)

A sharper, closer picture might help to determine bone material, as it is this just looks like a piece of limestone. 

And, as Jazfossilator says, views of the other side and the ends would be useful, please.

Welcome to TFF!

I do not see any bone in this rock.

It looks like a coarse grained limestone with mineral filled cracks and differential weathering. (softer areas erode faster than harder areas.)

Yes, limestone, as I suspected I'm afraid.
