I went and checked out the Big Brook Creek preserve in NJ today and found these pieces of bone. I'm not sure what they are and could use some help identifying them. Please let me know if I need to give more or better images. Thank you for your time.

it's a modern bone and rodent tooth

The bone is similar to a partial beaver femur.  The tooth might belong to the same animal.

I see, Thank you for the help. I guess the dark coloration got me excited for nothing.

Bone can change color in a fairly short time in rivers, due to the tannins that are in the water.
