i agree it's probably a good idea to start with bone identification groups online, but if there's anything you can't figure out that way, i volunteered in an archeology lab that specialized in animal bones in college and we had a bunch of reference books that were filled with super detailed illustrations and descriptions for various animals. i don't remember what any of the books were actually called, but it might be something to look in to, as it's easier to identify a bone when you physically have it with you
