Found this bone in Edisto Island, South Carolina on the beach. 7/2/2022 

 

Do you think it’s a fossilized bone? I have never found something like this before

Try the flame test. 

If it releases a pretty horrid odour when burned, it probably contains collagen and is most likely modern, if it doesn't smell, then it's probably a fossil.
