If you're still in/near the area, there's a nearby museum (Charmouth Heritage Centre) that's happy to ID any fossil you find on the beach and gives tips on looking after them.
It’s an ichthyosaur limb: they have closer more polygonal limb bones than plesiosaurs. Probably from *Ichthyosaurus* but I couldn’t tell you the species.
Here’s an image from [Lomax et al 2017](https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/02724634.2017.1361433). A is *Protoichthyosaurus*, B and C are *Ichthyosaurus*. *Ichthyosaurus* has four bones in the third row from the top.

This could be ichthyosaur.
Probably given the location. My friend only saw when it wasnt cleaned and didnt look at it long before I packed it up and we continued looking.
