Baculum?

Trying to figure out what species this belongs to. I’m thinking it’s either a large fox baculum or a small coyote or dog baculum. It’s approx 72mm.

Is this some sort of bone?

Found on a beach in the UK, I thought it was part of a shell at first but it feels heavier and thicker than a shell so it’s making me wonder if it’s some sort of bone or fossil?

Found while walking

Middle of nowhere farm land in Colorado, there are plenty of native "sites" all over this spot. (If that's relevant)

Found skull

I found this skull in a creek. It's missing the teeth. I'm wondering what type of skull it is :)

Also, should I leave it as is, or should I try to clean it? Thanks for the helP!!

A literal bone in my kind bar

I found it with my teeth.

At first I thought it was an overcooked nut, so I ate around it. Little did I know...

What is this bone?

Found in Corona Del Mar, Newport CA. It was in the water so not sure if it’s some sea mammal or it was someone’s lunch. My hand for scale :)

Found in a tilled field in the foothills of the cascades in Western Washington

Looks like a fang, but is flaking apart in layers like rings on a tree. Pasture used to contain sheep. Coyotes are known to be present. Cows and goats next door. Field is adjacent to a salmon bearing creek with river otters and occasional beavers. What could this be?

Skeleton ID

Found in western Washington, USA in gravel lot adjacent to wetlands, large stream, and forest. Just curious what it was and if it can be determined if it was eaten or died of other causes. Numerous small birds, amphibians, and mammals live there and I’ve seen weasels, coyotes, hawks, vultures, etc. Relatively far from domestic animals.

Beach Bone, Aldeburgh UK

Anyone able to help me ID this bone I found on a pebble beach in Aldeburgh, East Anglia, UK?
I thought it was driftwood at first due to the colour, but picked it up and learned otherwise!
If more angles are needed, I'll take more pics :)

Is this a tooth, and if so of what animal?

Not entirely sure if you guys even ID teeth, but heres something i found in a river in England, specifically the county of Rutland. The river connects to the North sea, figure it could be a fish of some kind. Monster energy viking berry for size ref of course.

Small bones scattered across driveway

Bones found in driveway in south Louisiana, all are small, the longer, straighter ones are about 4-5 inches long and the smaller rib/spine(?) & skull(?) fragments are about the size of an average persons palm.

Could this be a young domestic cat? The area I’m in has a huge stray cat population.
