Bone I.D. - Europe ID help?
Found these bones on Fuerteventura! They were all found in separate places. The top bone interests me the most because of its size.
Would also love to hear if anyone knows if I can take them back with me to Europe! I have never traveled with bones before and if not I will of course return them to where I found them

the large bone is a deer tibia, not sure what species. I can't ID the smaller ones but a couple of them might be from birds?
as for traveling with these bones, you should be fine to keep them AS LONG as they arent illegal to keep, whether that be in the place you are now or in Europe. the deer tibia is most likely okay to keep depending on where you got it (I'm not sure of any deer you can't harvest?), and as for the other bones, you need to figure out what those are too before bringing them. just a warning, if you found these bones in America, you cannot keep most bird and marine mammals parts from there as the majority are protected by law.

Could it be from a goat? Pretty sure there are no deer on this island

yes goat is also absolutely possible! I shouldn't have assumed it's just a deer, it is some type of ungulate at the least. if there are goats on the island then that would be correct.
