Petrified/mineralized wood?

[Vikingblood]

Found the little piece while digging some trash up metal detecting so I thought I would post it up here. Found it near a cedar swamp in the pine barrens of southern New Jersey. This a fist for this area. I have found tons in another place and time 20 miles west of here before; but never in the pine barrens. It does not look like any of the wood I found west of here. I think I read once wood can mineralized in ten thousand years.

Can you take a closer photo of the piece in question without the other things?
A couple angles will help also.

Sure. Let me know if that's good I can try and take better ones.

I'm not very educated on your area but that looks like dinosaur bone to me.
About my avatar ..yes I found it that way.
The hole was made many centuries ago by a Native American.
