Horn coral?

Coral? I don't think so. It ends with a nail, besides, the find is tens of miles away from the sea.

ok... so how did the sea shell get there? Wherever you found it was likely a sea millions of years ago.

 

[Fossils]

Very likely not a vertebrae fossil. It is a continuous mass with no bone structure.

The color and striations remind me of petrified wood. Silicified coral is another possibility.

May be it was. There are lots of fossils in the near abouts. Here are some pics showing pieces of a single species, looking like cuttlefish View attachment 1908909

........The "cuttlefish" bones are from a different site.

Right. It should be that, otherwise how could a sea shell and a dinosaur remains meet on a single rock!
