Dear Hayley
The largest bone. on the top, is a urohyal of cod (Gadus morhua). The left bone at the bottom is a fourth branchiostegal ray (left side) of a cod. The bone at bottom right could also be from cod. Can you take i photo from the other side. Is it a bone with chanal for lateral line system? ordoes it have traces of cartilage in the interior? Maybe it is too fragmentary for ID? Were these bones found together? Urohyal and branchiostegal ray could be from extraction of gill apparatus.
best wishes
