I guess my first thoughts are whale bones. I have found some vertebra and a phalanx down the creek last week. These were buried in the creek wall and I believe in the Yorktown Formation. They are very heavy and have a solid “ring” to them when they touch. They’re on an 8.5” x 11” sheet of paper for size reference!

Those are pretty beat up and broken bones pieces. The 2 on the right in the first picture do look like they could be pieces of rib bone.

The others I do not think you can go any further than calling them bone chunks.

Them red clay piles are heaven on earth
I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt

I wholeheartedly agree. Those chunks were right there with the larger pieces in the wall so I just photographed them all together.
