It may not be identifiable, but it would be interesting to see what can be ruled out. I'm pretty sure from the simple circular tooth sockets that it's not mammal, but I really don't do vertebrates - anyone agree? (My hunch is something like a lizard, or possibly fish...)

I thought some kind of reptile. I must admit though, the close-up of the 2nd specimen looks typical fish-bone preservation
