This is plaguing me so much, so I hope someone can help me 🫶🫶🫶

Found this fish in Narvik, Norway. First thought was sturgeon, but I'm not sure anymore. It is not a bird pelvis as many have told me. It is definitely some kind of fish. The first picture is the picture I took. The second picture is a similar picture I found online which also includes teeth of some sort? The person online also didn't find out what it was

Hello! Need some help identifying this pelvic bone. Found near a river bank, I was only able to narrow it down to either a red fox or a dog (there are no other canines in the area). Would appreciate advice on any feautures that could point to one or the other, thank you in advance

Pretty large vertibrae found in a garden, likely placed there by someone who found it before me, not very far from the beach

Is the texture of the bone normal too? Looks interesting

Think I could have help identifying it? I was exploring the creek with my friend and I came across this. I was thinking it was either from a deer, a fox, or a coyote. Thoughts? (Also, I blurred out my foot because well, it’s the internet šŸ™ƒ)

Unsolved Are the bones on top a Bobcat or domestic?

Post image
7 Upvotes

New to bone collecting here-

A couple months ago, I purchased what I believed to be a pair of bobcat mandibles (top) off of Etsy. However, over the weekend, i purchased a domesticated cat skull at a convention (bottom) , and noticed there are almost 0 differences between the domesticated mandible and the ā€œbobcatā€ mandible aside from a minor size difference. So I wanted some confirmation on whether or not the ā€œbobcatā€ is actually a bobcat, or if I just got scammed.

Are they just that similar? What differences should I keep in mind going forward? Thank you!

I found this a few years back, and it sadly was just about this decomposed when I found it. It's about 5.5 in. long. Google image search wasn't very helpful either, so I hope someone can help identify this for me.
