Default Forget about identifying parts, what is this thing ?

I found this today outside in a pile of rocks. Looks like a petrified camel toe I think it's a fossil does anyone have any idea? It's definitely solid stone

Default Without a doubt -

#7 neck vertebrae.
I base that on my experience of examining dinosaur bones.

Might contact the local college and they will look into where the rocks came from and name the find after you.

Cool find Pete. Get back out there and look for more. Tho if it's a pile of rocks dumped there you might need to find out where they came from and were dug up, then look there as there might be more to grab.

Looks like a bone or shell of some sort I looked around didn't find anything else. It's too symmetrical to be a random rock . Looks like some sort of tailbone

Put it in front of a dog. If he eats it, it's a turd.

I was going with petrified dung, but fossil sounds better.
