I am trying to identify these bones. I believe they are from a tropical fish or other water animal, 2 different kinds, but I cannot figure which.

Bones are a bit incomplete for me to tell which animal they are from exactly (maybe others can), but I will say that they are a bit thick for fish bones so I doubt them. Fish tend to strive for neutral buoyancy.

Happy hunting,

Thank you so much. After further research I agree with you. I am thinking small mammal, but I still do not know which.

I suppose they might be vertebral processes.
