I picked this up at an estate sale and I know nothing about fossils. To my non-expert trained eye it looks like part is real and other parts not. Still cool either way!

Looks like a bear paw bone skelton....Not a fossil...
 

Could be a European cave bear foot articulation. Those bones are usually not mineralized and are soft. That might explain the damage to the metapodials. I just can't say from the images.
 

Thanks for the input. The guy collected dinosaur eggs and other fossils. I might run it buy a local university one day to see what the have to say.
