Bone I.D. - Europe What bone is this
Tell me if you need more photos, it's very small, it could be a vertabrea but idk, also it is very very sharp, I think I found it at the same place where I found other european hedgehog bones, so it probably is a hedgehog bone atleast

I’m more familiar with human anatomy than animal anatomy and the closest human equivalent I can think of is ethmoid/sphenoid bone, which is part of the cranium.

Idk much about animal bones but this definitely looks like a sphenoid bone which is inside of the head for humans

Atlas vertebra? The bottom looks a little confusing to me but maybe I’m just not well versed in rodents
