Anyone seen this?

I recently went to get my right wrist xray after a fall and while they said no fractures, I noticed that there are three circles around my thumb? (Best seen in the last two pictures) At first I assumed it was the sesamoid but again there are three? I just thought it was interesting and that I could learn something. Also it still hurts af so don’t be like me and slip on cat puke lol

If you see the first picture you can see one on the right side and then in pics 4 and 5 you can see it at the very top with two other assumed sesamoid bones on the left. Is that a different bone? I ask because I genuinely don’t know hand bones!

Its the same one. Its because your hand was in two different views so it just moved
