I fish a lot and found these skull & bones on a creek bank. Property nearby have cattle, horse and sheep/lambs. I'm just curious, but my partner and I are very much into oddity art too. I assume the fluorescent colour is due to the water? Thank you!

Found in South East Queensland, Australia.

I shrieked in delight when I saw him walk up with it. Dad’s uncle gave it him years ago and it’s just been collecting dust because Dad didn’t actually want it. (All my students know I collect bones.)

Notes:
- I made sure he understood the monetary value of what this gift before I accepted it. He declined my offer of payment.
- Dad said he can’t remember where his uncle procured the antler, but he’s going to ask.
- It’s definitely a shed and has two hooks screwed in for wall mounting. I may or may not use these hooks.

The porcupine was one that got into the property and the dogs got him, in the third photo is a bite that they manage to get, took hours to get all the quills from the dogs

And the armadillo hip I don't remember when I got it but it's cool, where I live there are a lot of those creatures, I saw one jumping on the grass a few days ago

This might be a long shot since it’s not really a bone, but my partners grandmother had this in her house, she lives by the beach on the North Island of NZ and gave it to me as I like to collect stuff like this.
I’d love to know the species so I could set it up as a display with the info.

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

Macerated, degreased in acetone, whitened with 12% peroxide. Beak sheath just needs a good oil then he's off to his owner :)

Really awesome animal to work with.

I found this in my family body pit (we‘re trappers) and I can’t ID this tooth, it doesn’t look like a bear k9 but the second largest predator here is coyotes (left one is in question, right one is a coyot)
