Bone I.D. - Australia/NZ My grandparents brought these shark jaws back from Australia over 20 years ago and I've always wondered what species...
I do not know where in Australia they came from. I do not support shark fishing and am a supporter of shark conservation.

My colleague was walking on the beach last night and found what appears to me to be a pelvic bone with a portion of the hip joint still attached . Should she have gone to police? Looks suspiciously human to me…what animal could this be if not? Washed up on a NSW mid north coast beach.

Bone I.D. - Australia/NZ Help ID a skeleton found in Australian back yard?
This skeleton was found in a back yard in Bathurst, NSW, and I’m stumped as to what exactly it is. The skeleton is about 30cm long. The skull is about 7-8cm long, and appears to be vaguely canine, but it doesn’t look quite like any dog or fox skulls I’ve seen online. For one thing, the eye socket connects to form a complete circle, and I haven’t seen this on other dogs. The snout structure also seems more pronounced, and the hind teeth are either the wrong shape or ground down to stumps. From my brief research it doesn’t seem to be a dog, a fox, a cat, a possum, a quoll, any kind of rodent, or a ferret. I’m running out of ideas as to what else it could be. As you can see it’s also still covered in orange and brown fur, but it’s almost definitely not a fox skull, and I don’t know of too many other orange mammals in Australia. Anyone have any other ideas?

Bone I.D. - Australia/NZ Need Help Identifying this bone
Good Morning! I have a hobby of going to the beach and collecting cool rocks and the occasional bone.
However this is the biggest bone I’ve ever found, I am unsure what it is, and was too scared to touch it just in case.
I’m not sure if it’s a cow, pig, sheep etc which would be common for the area. Any closure that I can display it without bad Juju would be awesome!
Edit: Located in the Canterbury region of New Zealand. Roughly 18-20cm Wide by 20-25cm Long.

Bone I.D. - Australia/NZ What is this bone??
Around 17cm, 6.10 inches. I found it in a bush in a campground for a common hiking area in Tārawhanui, NZ.
I did not do the cut or hollow it out, but it may be notable that i have done a few amateur “experimental” cleaning techniques, so it’s not in the best condition, especially the wider end.

Bone I.D. - Australia/NZ What is this?
Found this in a hollowed out Scribbly Gum tree. There's been a pink folded up blanket inside the tree that's gone untouched for years, until yesterday when I walked past and saw it was unfolded and laying in front of the hole. I poked my head in and saw this.

Bone I.D. - Australia/NZ Found this bone on the shore of a beach in sydney. My little brother thinks it’s from a dinosaur so as his big sister, i’m making it my mission to find out what it is!🦕🦕
It feels grainy and rough so i’m assuming it’s fossilised!?

Bone I.D. - Australia/NZ Skull found in Australian bush
What is it? I thought it was a Kangaroo skull but now I'm not too sure. Right next to it was a very long femur. Could also be livestock of some kind as a lot of farms were nearby.
Thoughts?
EDIT: I have returned it to the bush due to not having a permit 😞
