owl pellet
As promised.
This is maybe 1/4 the contents of a smallish pellet. There are so many tiny bones, it’s hard to believe.
Anyway. File this one under Icky Stuff My Mom Wishes I Wouldn’t Do, Let Alone Take Pictures Of And Write About On The Internet:

Here’s a scan of three un-dissected pellets, note that the one on the bottom left is basically fur wrapped around a little rodent skull - those are teeth sticking out.
Sorry, Mom…
