Help with Fossil ID

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

I'm well out of my wheelhouse with these, both in anatomy and any type of ID. 

 

These came out of a collection, and I unfortunately have no information on their origin. Each photo set show what was found in two separate specimen containers (old prescription pill bottles). Contents of each bottle seem to be associated.

 

Hoping for an ID, or at least a general direction. Someone may even recognize the formation based on the coloring of contents of the first container.

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Container 1 - Those appear to be claws or talons of some sort? Tried comparing to various small animals, saw some similarities, but nothing definitive. The white coloring is giving me mid-west vibes?

Container 1 looks like bird bones to me, at least the claws are bird (probably raptor of some type).  Container 2 is turtle, and I would guess modern also.
