Hi!

I found these in an exposure of the star peak group in the Humboldt Mountains (from the lithology, I think specifically the lower or middle member of the Prida Formation, so Anisian in age) and am wondering what they are.

 

Many icthyosaur fossils have been found in this formation and the mountain range, so I’m wondering if some of these might be bone fragments. However, I would think that those would be rare, so most or all of these would be something else.

Could the segmented things be parts of an orthoceratoid?

 

Thanks!
