I found this conglomerate type and appears to have small bones and 1 longer one. I'm just curious if it is. Thank you.

it's a limestone fossil coquina, more limestone than fossil



Edit 2: That weird shape you are referring to is more than likely a Bryozoan, if you take a magnifying glass it'll have little pores in it (if it was deposited in good shape).

Thank you. I wish I had taken better pictures outside. I may do that tomorrow. Not doubting at all what you are saying because I'm ignorant in this area. I will look for pores. There are these pieces all over/in it. I wish it was fossilized poop lol.
