RE: Unidentified Fossilized Objects - more info

Okay, I hate trying to identify material from long distance (especially as I
can't see the texture of the bone, etc.), but might this the the neural
spine of a dorsal or proximal caudal of an ornithopod, and the cylindrical
elements ossified tendons?

My BEST suggestion, however, is for you to take it to a nearby museum or
university with a vertebrate paleontologist, and see what someone who sees
it in person says it is.
