Life is pretty challenging right now 😓
My daughter took this pic of a little friend that comes visit us around 7pm each evening. I hope it makes you smile as much as it did us.

😍🦴💮 On first glance, I thought this was intricately decorated bone, but the surface pattern is almost certainly caused by fungal growth! 🍄🟫🍄

A level archaeology no longer exists 😢 But I had so much fun and this 2-year course gave me an amazing head start for my degrees in archaeology, which focussed on plants and animals ❤️

Petrosal bones of domestic cattle (left) and equid (right, probably domestic horse).
As well as being species diagnostic, they are also a good element to note because of their dense bone structure that preserves genetic material well 🐄🐎🦴🧬

Right occipital condyle of a horse of course! 💀🐎🦴
(well, equid, but that doesn't rhyme. It's most likely a horse, but donkey or mule can't be ruled out!)
The only Equid bone for this context!

I share my office with a #sherdnerd My favourite thing is his reference collection. Wee snips of pot, 100s, nay 1000s of them, sorted by ware type & location! This is only part of his reference collection just for Roman period York 🤩😱
I'm just jealous. His collection smells way better than mine 😆🦴

OK! Yellow circle is a furcula/wishbone of an Anatidae bird - something like a goose 🪿
Blue circles a fish - a premaxilla (upper jaw) and a dentary (lower jaw). If you send close ups of these I should be able to get an ID for you.
The big vertebra looks like deer or cattle.
