Gar teeth/skull

My grandpa took some pictures of a few pieces in my collection and I love looking at the gar teeth up close so I thought I’d share

I got this spotted gar skull at the oddities and curiosities expo when I was in college. One of my favorite pieces

Bone i found in my friend's backyard the other day with some weird marks on it

We were playing cornhole when I found it while pretending to dejectedly walk into the woods. It was sat under a tree not too far from the house and when i brought it up to Bone Friend she said it looked more carved than chewed

Whatever it is my dog is very upset with me that I won't let her chew on it lol

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?

Bone I.D Europe

Hello!! found this object in Italy—specifically in Val Pellice, a mountain area in the Piedmont region. I'm not an expert, but I think it might be a bone. I'm really curious to know what animal it could belong to, if possible. Could you tell me anything about it?

Thank you so much!

Is this a ridge bone slice?

Found this pattern on the surface of the tile, which looks like a spine slice. Has been completely quartzized.

My first diaphonization project is finally done

After a 2 month process I have two mice, a goldfish, and a hillstream loach from my aquarium. Also have 8 rats processing in my garage right now

Diaphonization is the process of clearing the soft tissue, and dyeing the bones and cartilage with specialized dyes

very very strange mouthpart?

found this on the shore of lake champlain in vermont. it seems to be a plate bone with about twenty rounded teeth of varying sized on top. they definitely feel like teeth. its not a fossil, it is a bone. does anyone have any ideas? i have never seen anything like it.

Can I cross the US boarder with a moose skull and some pieces of moose sheds?

Hello I found some cut up moose sheds off a highway pull out and found a moose skull in Yukon. I would like to take these home to Pennsylvania. Not sure if I have to get paper work or declare them at the boarder crossing. No tissue or brain matter on the skull
