I’m about 99% sure that was not a chicken spur, probably a chicken shank or rib. Reasons:
Chickens feet are cut off by both old fashioned processing and mechanical chicken processing plants. Socking ie removing the feet skin followed by feet being cut off.
A Roosters spurs don’t appear looking like spurs until they are 7+ months old and most chickens are culled in plants between 2 and 6 months old.
Roosters are rarely grown for meat in small farms and pretty much never in industrial chicken plants like Costco’s.
I grew up on a chicken farm… Ya’ll just need to cook chicken correctly if salmonella worries you lol.
Had a chicken bake there a couple weeks ago and there was a chicken spur in it!

Idk, sure looked like it to me. Around an inch long, slightly curved and thornlike. Definitely wasn’t bone, it had a little squishiness to it.
