I found this near a small creek in the Casselman Formation right outside of Pittsburgh. It was originally covered in some sort of black matrix, most of which I scraped off. It really looks like a piece of bone (maybe a tibia or a radius?) to me, but I might just be crazy.

 

Thanks!

I'm afraid the photos aren't terribly splendid, try natural sunlight. 

But I think it's a rock. :(

+1 for rock. 

I'm not seeing any bone texture in the photos provided.  :(
