Mos vert????

[Hookem93]

My 12 year found these and I am not sure if they are Mosasaur verts, etc.  I am thinking it MIGHT be a Mosasaur humerus.  It is definitely fossilized, although it looks like unfossilized bone. The smaller one... I will defer to the Forum's expertise.  Thanks!

The first three pictures are of an artiodactyl (even-toed ungulates) astragalus (ankle bone), probably a bison or cow based on size.  I haven't got a clue on the fourth picture.  Where (in general) were these collected?

I'm going to agree with Fruitbat on all accounts....Nice find.

Thanks so much for the ID. We have been to the North Sulphur River a few times and my son has fossil fever and was convinced he found his first Mos vert.  Back to proverbial drawing board... thanks.
