[Bonetools] Bone Identification questions

[Eva David]

Dear Tina,
After a brief look on your pictures, I think that you should look  
wolf/dog foot (looks like metapodial bones here..) for the first  
pictures (long bones) and on fish species (for the other pictures, a  
series of strange bones) as so far this bones looks like spin bone of  
fishes (skate, pike?).
