Dear
Canan,
My
guess would be that these are remnants of a small octopus. The two soft parts
appear to have circular structures on them that resemble the suction cups. The
two shell-like structures would be fragments of the beak. These are shaped like
parrot beaks and highly curved. The two fragments look somewhat different but I
think I am seeing a fracture surface so they could be just fragments of it. Hope
this helps!
All
the best, Hanneke
