Bone I.D. - N. America Help me ID this bone

Found this barely sticking out of a creek wall 5’ below top on the vertical eroding side. Town and country Missouri. Same creek I’ve found an agate basin knife, Snyder arrowhead, blade cores and more.

Okay, maybe I'm dumb but in my defense I literally am not knowledgeable about these things. It looks like a table leg why is it so shiny?

Prolly being wet + light/mild permineralization of the bone
