Found a fossilized bone in Antarctica?

Hey,

 

I found this bone-looking fossil while on a hike on James Ross Island in Antarctica. As many other fossils have been found in the area, I’m wondering if anyone can help identify this?

 

We had strict rules not to remove anything from Antarctica, so I’ve left the fossil where I found it. Sorry for the lack of measurement.

These look concretionary, to me.  :unsure:

Wait for other opinions, though.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

I agree this is no bone, I wonder if it could be a belemnite cross section though.

Best regards,
