All of the bones are from mammals; the 1st bone is a fragmentary mandibular ramus, the 2nd bone is a rib; 3rd one I'm not sure about.

Opalised fossils are the best: a wonderful mix between paleontology and mineralogy!

 

Q. Where do dinosaurs study?

A. At Khaan Academy!...

The third one is a horn core.

Just out of curiosity, are the bones really fossils? If so, how can you tell?

I can't prove their age, but the rib and the horn outer surface looks to have the same character of the specimens I've found at the Neolithic site Parta (Vinca Culture), near my location. :)
