My First Time... and the troubles of being a Noob

Hello all,
I've been collecting bones and skulls as long as I can remember, but I've only recently tried an articulation.
The 'victim' was a crow, hit by a car... Although on first sight no damage was discernible, the macerated skeleton showed a severely damaged Synsacrum, but nothing that couldn't be overcome.
However... After hours of cursing the ribcaghe (still in progress) I found two very weird bones that don't seem to fit anywhere, hence my questions:
1) Any tips on getting the ribs aligned? I just don't seem to get them right
2) Please identify the bones below in the photograph??


Thanks to the specialists already

If this one works out, the next one willl be a seagull (The magpie after that is already being macerated as we speak..
On that note, maybe question three, for the Dutch (or Belgian??) members oof the forum:
Where can I get/order Dermestid Beetles in Western Europe?

 

1) Yes, I've got the rest of the tongue complex complete; why? Is this part of it?
2) Beetles ?! Yeeay! I'll send you a PM; thanks!!

 

Thank you for the reply! Very helpful indeed..
Can anyone give me some paractical advise on how to align the ribcage?
