If it made it to the stomach without difficulty it will transit and exit from the digestive tract in 3-4 days. It is not a toxic substance & swallowing non food items is rather common.

If you are not having any chest discomfort or any difficulty swallowing, then the piece of bone likely passed into your stomach. A small piece of bone will likely pass into your stool and be eliminated with a bowel movement. If you develop abdominal pain, especially if severe, then you would need to get it checked, probably in an ER. Good luck to you!!
