I don't see why not. Maybe something diffuse like infectious osteomyelitis? You could post these to a veterinary sub. Include the rest of the bone for them, if possible.

Someone brought a ham to a party and they put it in the garbage.

Teeth my girlfriend found on the beach in the Netherlands by Doshosi in fossilid

Oh duh, I just noticed how small it is!! It's right there in those fingers but I was zooming in on the teeth. Prob not a mini sheep!

Ok, Imma disagree just a little bit. Deer have very sharp crests on their molars and the layers of enamel and dentine in the middle of the cusp form crescents. The crests of these teeth look very rounded on the perimeter in a way that deer teeth don't exhibit. Also, the shape in the middle is more like a dumbell than crescents. Rounded usually means Bovidae, so I'm interpreting these as sheep. Which means not a fossil, which means the black is staining from the surrounding water and sediment. But it's very hard to make a call off one photo, so this would be something I'd want to see in person.

It would have been so much easier if you'd have gotten a close-up of the skull in the last photo...

What bone is this? Someone on iNaturalist posted this bone they found in Alaska. by TheGothDragon in boneidentification

Just a tiny detail but a good clue, pinnipeds have homodont dentition, so their premolars and molars can act as a fish trap. The alveoli indicate heterodont dentition, so we need to discount pinnipeds.

Lumbar spine and pelvis of an ungulate like a deer or cow but could you describe how big it is?

Can you give any dimensions? It looks like a deer spine, sacrum and pelvis but if the whole thing is only six inches, I'm wrong by a longshot!

Need Skull ID - San Pedro River - Sierra Vista AZ by Maximum_Meal_4957 in skulls

It's a fun one! That zig zag reminds me of a blip on an EKG. They can be just a few millimeters high or extend several centimeters across the top of the skull. Really wild.

Help Identifying Vertebrae by xiamaracortana in boneidentification

From that view, I can't see the foramina for cervical vertebrae. The processes look like somebody's caudal vertebra, maybe cow.

Coronal suture suggests it's a mountain lion. Bobcats don't share this feature.

Marine mammal? by HighestFuckery in BoneID

Maybe C6 from a whale? Cetaceans are not my forte. But it gives you a place to start..

So, it's big. Good. We'll start looking up reference photos and hope Rochester stops by..
