Looks like you stumbled upon some creature's dinning room! ;) Interesting finding and very cool notes about the catfish Xiaoxuan!

The first pic has part of a catfish in it...the sickle-shaped bone with a serrated edge is part of the pectoral fin...only catfish have that kind of spine on their fins...
