All of the mineralised bones shown in image 5 easily pulled a rare earth magnet. but when i attempted to do the same using a none rare earth magnet of the same shape and size, the bone did not pull the magnet.

 

My own ideas as to why the bones attract and pull the rare earth magnet, are either that the animals the bones belonged to somehow managed to absorb the magnetic material while eating, or the bones themselves absorbed the magnetic material after burial.

Image 4 shows another Horse Metacarpal but the joint surface differs i think this could be an age thing.

This Bos Mandible weighs 300 grams and when held feels like stone.

I believe it to be a section of Auroch Mandible.
