I am a dentist. Odds are pretty good that you had a bone spicule come out. This is a pretty common thing to happen after extractions. Yes, it can even happen several years after the extraction.
I am sure that the surgeon will not want to do the biopsy as you will probably be fully healed by next Friday.
Rest easy.
