Great examples, further up from the tailbones....too bad way back you didn’t find out where they came from , we get that stuff all the time, , and can usually be traced to the fossil beds where they were dug, sometimes the site is available for lookin, ..Makes ya wonder what was left behind...Floridaboy.

Well best part and worst part is without a good location to help either case, we will probably never know. If you are ever near a museum, or have a paleontology club nearby, take them and see if someone knows. Hands on sometimes is the best way to identify.
