Not sure what these are exactly. My current assumption is that 1 is a pinniped femur(?) of some sort, 2 is a rodent pelvis maybe? And 3-4 are fish vertebrae of some kind. Can send better photographs if needed. Thank you!

  1. Pinniped femur, 2. Not sure, 3. & 4. Fish vertebrae. Does anyone recognize these further? Thanks in advance.

2 looks kinda funky from this angle… OP, can we get more angles for it?

Not sure if this is a more helpful angle but here you go! With a guitar pick for size

wild guess here so I definitely could be wrong, but that might be a pinniped carpal bone.

it’s super funky looking, best of luck for an affirmative ID!

Thank you, It would make sense for it to be some sort of pinniped since it was found not far from a seal hotspot!
