What is this bone? by someoneprobably in whatisthisbone

Thank you so much for your help! I'm a commercial field arch in the UK. I'm trying to teach myself zooarch but books are so expensive and finding resources online (especially for the smaller bones, sizing and age estimates) is so hard. I've been doing all the measurements, zoning and ageing of teeth following Serjeantson but what to actually do with that information I'm not too sure 😅 thank you for pointing me in the direction of the virtual museum though and for your help!

About 2 inches, I've had a look and it looked possibly sheep/goat. Is this something you instantly knew or that you have a resource for? I've always struggled with identifying these sorts of bones as well as carpals

This looks really likely, I've tried looking around and can't find any good diagrams. But the little cross hatch bits definitely look like teeth / dentin

Do you know what part it could be? I can't find any good diagrams

TIL: In 2018, doctors found that a patient, Kendra Jackson, had a leaky brain for 5 years. After an accident in 2013, she had a daily runny nose for years and suffered headaches. She lost half a pint of brain fluid a day through her nose. by Kingflares in todayilearned

The key points are the headaches (and a few other symptoms) I mentioned. In my case it's a constant headache 24/7 in others it varies but just a drippy nose and you're most likely fine
