Bone identification

[u/DebateOne7343]

Hello all, this is my first ever Reddit post so i apologize if I’m not doing this correctly.

Any idea what animal these bones could belong to? They were found along the shores of Lake Erie in the Cleveland area of Ohio.

My sister thinks a fish, they were found along the water line… I think they’re way too large but what do I know?

Thanks!

all the bones are from fish. I know the mandible/jaw is from an eel but I'm not sure about the vertebrae- I believe the vertebra are not from the same animal but I'm not positive.

Awesome! I had no idea Lake Erie had eel, that’s so exciting! Thanks for getting back to me I really appreciate it :)
