Specimen collected from Woodbine Dallas Co. Tex.
Direct context embedded "Tarrant member"

Fossil bone tissue, not known as to origin.
Chuck Finsley former Curator of Dallas Museum and Lewis Jacobs curator of Shuler Museum "SMU"
Neither could help in identification of this problematic stone.
I have discontinued search for ID.
An amature once told me it resembled the "thumb spike" from an Iguanodon.
I would like to think that he is correct.
Still though his theory is a guess.
So I will stick with the mythical. [Pseudounicornious]

I can now add JohnJ from our forum to the list of those who have held this specimen and could not fathom an ID.

I am absolutely fascinated by this specimen. Looks like it’s preserved in an ironstone concretion which may be obscuring details. Any chance it could be a starfish or crinoid? If you squint and twist things a little bit I could see it being something like below (which is not cretaceous). Anyway, every interesting find and totally ok calling it Pseudounicorious:D
