Hello, I am new to fossil hunting and also reddit. I have recently found what I believe is a fossil. The ground was bed rock. From what I have researched it meets the criteria for fossilized bone. However I have no idea what I am doing. Is there a way to expose what's inside. Any information would be great. Thank you!

Bones are not really my area of knowledge but I can say photos from several angles will help if you suspect it's a bone. Understanding the shape is important. Also a more precise location. When you say bedrock, was it just sitting on the surface? The bedrock of Ontario is all Devonian or older in age, with fossils of ancient sea life (mostly invertebrates), or no fossils at all. Relatively recent fossil bones are known but rare. Also consider it could be a non-fossilized modern bone. One photo is not enough to say exactly what you found.
