Yep... Just as I thought....No idea
Is it rock? that bit on the sec. pic, on the left, is it steel?

Definitely a fossilized bone. Could be dino - we picked up dozens of them on a trip out west several years ago. Minerals have replaced the natural bone. Not uncommon to see crystals or opalization in a cross section.

You rang?

Actually looks like it could very well be dino bone.
I have a small collection and that is fairly similar
to some of my pieces.
