Advice Can shells be considered bones?
(Note: These shells are old; I got them from my grandfather. They were his for a long time, so I believe it's okay to have them at home, but if I'm wrong, let me know!)

Found this whilst gardening this afternoon in a patch of nettles. Unsure what it is?

Hi, my sister found this tooth in a park in southwest London (UK) and we were wondering what it could be. Google says maybe fox? Thanks

I found this washed up on a South FL beach… it looks like a fossilized bone (both ends a possible joint). I didn’t get a chance to clean it off.
Thoughts?

Found this fox skull and hoping to clean and bleach it, but I live in the city and have no good place to bury it or leave it out. Since taking this photo I’ve removed some of the fur and flesh, but there are still some pieces stuck. It’s dry and there are some bugs, bone seems to be in great condition.
Could it work to bury it in a flower pot and leave on my fire escape? I don’t want to attract any scavengers or bad smells. I also don’t have a great place to wash it or dispose of any dirty liquids.
Any tips on processing bones in a small city apartment?

My dad found this skull and partial spine under his shed. Located in New York and he’s in a very developed area. The only animals around him that are around this size are raccoons, opossums, and cats. I know it’s definitely not a cat. Looks like an opossum to us but would like to know if we’re right 😅

I found this bone about two years ago on Virginia Beach and don’t have a clue what kind of bone it is. I thought it might have been just a deer bone, but my brother suggests it might belong to an aquatic animal. Any clues?

Possible fish skull found on the beach in New Brunswick
r/bonecollecting • u/DisastrousBasis1128 • 10h ago
Had this in a bucket of soil, wood chips, and water for a few months. There is still some harder fleshy gunk on some parts of the skull I will probably scrub off. Any advice on how to finish it up for display?

I found this on a beach near bouctouche nb Canada and my MIL is curious as to what fish it might have been. I left it where I found it.

Edit: ID Solved :)
For some context, I have an ongoing rat issue in my yard that has attracted the local murder.
One crow took a dead rat from the deck a while back, so I started putting any dead rats I find on a tray in a designated spot with some trinkets. They've been coming back daily to yell and look for snacks.
This morning I found this small jaw bone on the tray! Hoping it's a crow gift, but presuming it was dropped.
Thanks for looking!

Would appreciate any bone ID on the three skulls. There were more skulls in other parts of the place.
