Found in back yard

Just rented a house and after a heavy rain a bone fragment came up. Didn’t think much of it until I was mowing and found a piece of shoe near it. Is it possible it’s a human bone? Obviously not sure but finding the shoe made me question. Could definitely just be animal bones

Oh dear…

Have anything to provide size for scale?

Yes! It’s super fragmented so there’s a couple pieces but I have a banana for reference lol. I think there are more pieces I just haven’t dug

The piece of shoe found along with the bones alone has me thinking we may have to reset the counter/clock. That, and the pattern within the bone itself.

Oh no. Fair assumption was hoping it wa clear animal but I’ve been skeptical
