I had some spare time this week and have been going back through unidentified finds and sorting the ones where I think an ID may be possible. Based on what I've learned, I think this may be a cranium section with ear bone visible. But I can't figure out what animal it could be. Any ideas are appreciated.

Found what seems like a partial skull and possibly an ear bone. Southeast Texas. Never found anything like this before, but the darker smaller segment reminded me of ear bone threads I have seen. The size and general shape of the darker 'ear bone' sent me in the mammoth direction, but I'm not confident in it.

Picked up the below a few months ago. Initially I thought it may just be a concretion. After a second look I noticed holes on the stem portion that reminded me of a prior find. The old find, rare for Florida, was an extinct baleen whale ear bone (Parioetobalaena). While I don't see this as an exact match I thought it was worthy of posting and seeking additional opinions. I am hoping Dr Boessenecker @Boesse will have time to take a look and comment. The specimen measures - 30mm x 36mm x 23mm Or in inches = 1 3/8" x 1 1/2" x 7/8" The blue ruler in the photos is mm and the pink inches.

This specimen was found in an area with a lot of Dugong rib bone and other fragments. Initially I tossed on the river bank with the pieces I didn't intend to keep. Taking a second look I thought it could be an ear bone of some type. After a lot of searching on this site I think it most resembles Sirenian ear bone and I am hoping for confirmation or redirection on what it is. Thanks for any help you all can provide.
