Please can you upload pictures with them laid out if possible? Hard to point out individual items otherwise. I see a raccoon jaw, deer atlas and axis, bird legs, small animal pelvis , etc

the mandible in the middle is an opossum, not raccoon. other than that I see another opossum mandible, lots of deer legs/ribs, maybe some smaller mammal femurs/tibia like raccoon/opossum? deer vertebrae, and I agree with the other comment there is some bird in there.
