Interesting. It could be that, but it could also be a type of coral or something. It doesn’t look familiar. I hunt the NSR. Which river do you hunt? There is the North, Middle and South Sulfur Rivers all in the same general area.

It looks like super tumbled bone, something you'd see people pick up on some of the beaches in the UK (Isle of Wight). However the bones I see from the NSR generally aren't in THAT rough of a condition, so it could be coral, which when river worn can appear similar.

My first thought was marrow, then I immediately thought coral, but then I settled back on marrow after I looked for comparable corals from the area. If it was coral, it would have to be some type of chain coral I think.

But the river You found it in did a pretty good job for You.

Looks like a classic piece of tumbled Cretaceous reptile bone.
