Where did you find these? Location can help narrow down the possibilities!
Florida north east coast.
@james-woods cool! @vperez can you chime in on these?
I think these are tilly bones. Tilly bones are a common name for hyperostotic bones in fish, which is a fancy way of saying an excessive bone growth. They look like fish dorsal spines with excessive growth. Unfortunately, I don’t know my fish well enough to say what kind.
