Atlantic salmon?Bones, one's a jawbone, for sure, the other I'm not sure. It looks like a mandible but without sockets for teeth, it had a kype-like upturn at midline, and presumptive articulation points at the ends. This was bone also, not cartilage- Thoughts on what it was from? The general size of this things is about 4 inches long with a 2.5 inch gap between the prongs....

Good thing they got that fender out for the bow, too.This find only "stuck" around for 2 days. Thank goodness for high tides.
By golly I think you got it. Makes sense.If you click on the picture you'll get the answer. I found this online while trying to figure out what @Wadin' Boot found.
A bit tangental but one of the most traumatic experiences I ever saw was as a student on a tour of a sewage plant. For younger readers, before taking selfies or whatever digital pics of a quite personal nature, one could only take a polaroid, a self exposing film. Folks would take snaps of stuff they were up too, typically sexual and then later flush them away thinking they were gone. Wrong, in the screening room the waste water passes over ever increasing smaller mesh screens to remove the junk/trash before the poopy water gets finally treated. One screen caught the Polaroids, which are pretty tough, and so there was a wall of shame reflecting most of Edinburgh's amateur snappers in all of their 'glory' moments; one of those moments where there were many things you can't unsee

Fun afternoon on the beach yesterday hunting for these.
I am going to say not a bird wishbone. I postulate a hyoid bone. Hopefully not a human specimanIf you click on the picture you'll get the answer. I found this online while trying to figure out what @Wadin' Boot found.
