Found at the Jurrassic coast in Charmouth bay. About 10 cm x 6 cm x 1 cm. Could it be a part of an ammonite?

To my eye, the undulating nature of this piece suggests oyster.

Yes, it's part of a large, apparently crushed ammonite. Probably not enough to identify but Asteroceras stellare or Coroniceras are just two of the possibilites around there, depending on the bed.
