Please post still images. It's difficult to study moving objects.:)

Welcome to TFF!

What is the size?

 

@Troodon

It is 3 inches tall 3 inches wide. Smaller one next to it is 2x2 also maybe this can help it was maybe 20 feet from where these were

I don't think the marks are bite marks.  They seem too close to symmetrical (i.e. the same marks are on both sides of the bones) and the surface looks continuous and not scratched. On the other hand, I can't help ID them.
