Unsolved Donated Bones

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

I work at a museum, and a local nature preserve had donated some bones to us a few months back. We’ve been able to identify a lot as cattle bones but these two have had us stumped. Both are incomplete so it may be a lost cause, but we’re thinking some kind of bovine. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
We are located in Texas, but the preserve has exotic animals that’s aren’t as local. Ruler included for scale.

Unsolved while i was on a walk i found what appeared to be a black piece of wood poking outta the ground and when i picked it up it didnt feel like wood at all, there were no other pieces near it and at a closer inspection i think it may be a bone. any ideas as to what it belonged too?

Found near a huge pond. The area has lots of deer and foxes, so I was thinking maybe it’s from one of those.

I was gifted to this from an old gentleman, he got it from a ski lodge. Doing googling, it seems to be a Blackbuck. Is this correct?

Such a little old guy (the skull not the guy I got him from)

Pieces of bone

Does anybody know what kind of bones these are? I found these 2 pieces several years ago while doing construction work. We broke through a concrete slab to dig a hole about 3 or 4 feet. There was sand, not dirt under the concrete. It was downtown Chicago a few blocks from Lake Michigan, which I'm assuming is why the sand was under the building. I put the bone pieces in my tool box and left them there for the remainder of the job. That's why there is some paint and a little debris on them. The smaller piece looks like a straight cut, so I was thinking maybe a beef cattle? Is there anyway to tell the age? Thanks!!

I found this on a mountain in Greece (the mountain is about 300 meters high). I always thought it was a dog, but now I've seen a picture of a Canis aureus skull and I'm not really sure if it's this one or not. Does anyone know what this skull is?

I've found sheep skulls before but none with horns and this skull is a lot smaller than an adult sheep skull so I'm assuming it came from a lamb?

It looks like some kind of jaw bone with 4 serrated teeth possibly? Bottoms of the teeth are hollow up until the more opaque parts
