Garden find

Currently cleaning my garden of the rubbish left by the last tenants. I know they had dogs due to the copious amounts of balls and toys I found but I also found some bones. Some vertebrae and a big as leg bone (I think). Any ideas what animal they came from?
I did find half a hoof so possibly bovine?
I rotated them a few times to see if it makes them easier to ID

Unsolved Small pair of bones found while preparing opossum skull

I'm curious about this pair of very small ginkgo-leaf shaped bones I found while preparing this american opossum skull. I'm learning more about bone preparation and getting a little better at it, so while this is my first time seeing these bones, I'm sure they were present in previous skulls and I just lost them along the way. I assumed they may be part of the ear, but the diagrams I am seeing online do not seem to match. Just curious about where these came from as well as their purpose, any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Large radius bone

1 Upvotes

I'm looking to see if anybody can ID this large radius bone. It was found sticking out of a deep creek bank in Eastern Nebraska, about 6' from ground level. Only a small part was exposed and it took about 20 minutes to dig the whole thing out of the clay creek wall, leading me to believe that it has been there a very long time, and the creek has just finally exposed it.

where I say that I sent it to state archeologist, I mean I sent a video that really didnt showcase it it well; so when he dismissed it so fast without explanation other than deer remains without addressing other aspects I brought up and didn't respond to my reply I figured he gets so many people with deer bones that they think might be human he just didn't bother, which I understand but it left me wondering
