Mammal bones found on the beach

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

A friend of mine found 3 of mammal bones on the beach washed ashore after the storm from last weeks - but I'm not too good in these. Might anyone help me out to ID this - if ever possible?

 

Big thanks!

At first blush, Number 1 in your first photo looks like a phalanx to me.  Number 2 reminds me of a hoof core.  Number 3 looks like a partial metatarsal.  Others will probably be able to narrow down better as to species.

The last image is of a gracile, deer/antelope-like artiodactyl -- a distal metapodial.

The 2nd-to-last appears to be a bovid proximal phalanx.

I don't recognize the third object.

Your images are very dark.  Next time provide brighter lighting, or daylight.
