    More angles and size can help. Kind of looks like a femur.

    Could be a caudal bone, tail, of deer sized animal. Still a vertebrae.

    Look up mogui marbles that should show you a few pictures. Growing up we found hundreds of them on our farm in Wisconsin. Just had a long thread about them on forgotten Wisconsin Facebook page.

    Maybe tibia due to the slight triangular look to it

    That fish skull is only the top part of the skull. The rest is missing. I don’t think it’s a sturgeon. I have a sturgeon skull and they are huge. Of course I live a block from Lake Winnebago and sturgeon spearing just ended last week.

    I found a picture on line that looks very close to your fish skull. I looked up ocean fish skull identification.

    I don’t have a very good amount of reference material for fish. It should be some what easy to search on line for fish skulls near your location. The second bone does look like distal end of a humerus. It is about the same size I would say a seal would be. If you can find it, one of the books I use is Mammalian Osteology by B. Miles Gilbert.

    I’m thinking, because of the size and location it was found near, it may be giant ground sloth, glyptodont, mammoth or mastodon shoulder blade. The measurements make it one large bone.
