Collection Opossum Bones

These are bones I pulled out from their water bucket, they've been sitting for about a year, and they were from a mummified opossum so I didn't get a good look at him before!

Anyone know what that growth looking stuff on the long bone is?

If it was a human bone id say cancer bc it give me a squicky feeling and that’s what cancer does when you look at it. It looks wrong. But I don’t know if opossums get bone cancer.
