Possible Native American Hand Axe?

I posted back in May, I was doing some deep digging in my backyard in Sarasota FL and about 40” deep I found some nice fossilized shark teeth and a dugong rib fragment.

 

Yesterday, from the dirt pile that came out of that hole, I found this.  It appears to be made of bone, it has hollow pores in it like marrow.  But it also seems like it was sculpted into a hand axe?  It has a long curved edge to it that’s pretty sharp, definitely seems filed down.  Any thoughts?  Thank you!

Turtle shell fragment. Not a hand ax as bone is to soft to stand up to that type of use.
