Hey guys, I bought some things from a rock and fossil store recently. This bone was said to be a plesiosaur vertebrae but I’m having trouble figuring out if it’s a fake! I noticed some bone pores and matrix and it is heavy. If it is fake, I’m suspecting a cast?

Looks like real fossil bone, to me.

Not sure what it is from, though.

 

EDIT: Moved to IS IT REAL?      ;)
