Possible raptor vertebrae and small partial dinosaur skull?

I was wondering if anyone can verify the descriptions match the fossils. Second one is a lance creek formation fossil, they believe it to be a partial triceratops skull, it looks like a partial skull but not those of a triceratop?

First the seller needs to learn how to spell.  It's vertebra for one and vertebrae for more than one.    Would like to see photos of all sides, out of the box and its size.  Is the centrum hollow? 

The Lance specimen, hard to say might be part of a vertebra.

One thing to check is if it as hollow at start, or was the marrow dissolved etc. out over years.All naturally hollow bones are bird bones, Never seen marrow at all in bird bones, from a sparrow to the terror bird.

Seeing the images, this vertebra most likely had a honeycomb type core that did not preserve well after it was broken

 

Was able to this similar example of an Ornithomimid
