This observation is for the prey animals found in an owl pellet I dissected. The date and location is accurate for where/when the pellet was found. I've left it at Vertebrata for now as it certainly contains more than one prey animal this time. The observation for the owl pellet/owl is here: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/65913848

This pellet was huge! (last image) I found it in what seems to be two main pieces that were next to each other in the gravel. This one took much longer than the first pellet to go through and sort. It was also more difficult when it came to fully removing fur from the bones, so there are a few chunks that I simply couldn't clean off properly.

I've done my best to group most of the bones by what I think are related bones. Since this one had somewhere close to 280 different bones/bone fragments I didn't label them like the first pellet. Of course, I could be and most likely am incorrect about most of what they are so please correct me if you know.

Any help anyone can provide is greatly appreciated!
