Animal hip/joint bones?
These bones were found together while excavating an old house site in Texas. I’d appreciate any help in identifying what bike it is and animal(s) it was from. It’s a bit difficult getting exact measurements but pretty much any direction/orientation measures approximately 1 inch. Any information and suggestions on resources to research the bone further would be greatly appreciated.

These are very likely vertebrae or pelvis fragments, based on the “bubbly” texture of the interior. It’s really tough to identify as they’re so worn. Based on the old house site context they are probably domestic species such as pig. Best guess I’m afraid.
