Solnhofen little bones ID

Hi Forum,

on April 23rd-25th I visited Solnhofen for some fossil hunting in the most famous quarries. I found some good ammonites and 2 little fishes. While opening some layers, i found a little orange bone shaped piece. At home i tried some clening and preparation. This is the best i can extract. It is VERY small, all the bones cover an area of 1.5x1.5cm. Below you can find some macros at different angles and focus. sorry for the raw preparation, i'll smooth it later i promise :)
it was found in the big Eichstätt quarry next to solnhofen. I think some some pterosaur? i tried to zoom the best on the bone surfaces, maybe it can help

 

thanks a lot

Paolo

Some of those bone elements seem "fishy" to me, but I have no specific knowledge about vert material from that site.
