A whole lot of things which used to swim or fly. That’s all I got.

I think that is the skeleton of a pufferfish. The toothy bits become the spikes when the puffer inflates itself with water (or air if the poor thing is being mucked with by tourists).
I’ve looked up puffer fish skeletons, and that’s not one. Everything is interlocked, and when you look at the image full size, there are way too many fins (or wings) to account for one critter.
The absent skull confused me a bit so my first guess was sponge skeleton. But when I saw the second picture the skull was a giveaway.

Ok, so it’s an M.C. Escher sculpture of a horse. Almost as nasty as a pea.

To me it look like a serious illness. Ossification comes to mind.

I never saw a puffer fish skeleton before, thanks!
Now, that’s one fish that is *serious* about not getting eaten. ;)
Enlarges to an impractical size, spines and tetrodotoxin. Few other creatures have so many defensive strategies!

Missed it completely.
My impression from the first photo was a yeast doughnut with raisins, rolled in dessicated coconut. Clearly I was wrong.
Puffer fish skeleton?
Something that really doesn’t want to get eaten.
Puffer fish skeleton minus the skull.
But if there were a god, it would be Bill O’Reilly’s luffa.
It’s a model of the Spindrift from ‘land of the Giants’ made entirely from transitional fossil parts…

Donald Trump’s new replacement for the Affordable Care Act?
I hope it’s a sculpture made of fish bone ’cause if something shat that out….

Trump’s sense of ethics.
Poor little things suffocated…
Wow. I think I got an owie just from looking at the picture.

Damn. Eating my own words. Pufferfish it is. With a Carolina Burlington tag on it.

I thought it was an incomplete sculpture of a fish, made from shark’s teeth.
Death metal fish needs spikes.
