x-rays showing possible fractures

x-rays showing possible fractures

Please look at the photos of x-rays of a left hand at http://community.webshots.com/album/580066015MZqwTg

1.  Is there a fracture at the distal end of the first metacarpal, on the left, directly under the end of the bone?   Sesimoid bone is nearby, but that is not what I'm talking about.   In some views the bone looks like something ate out a chunk of it.

2.  Is there a small fracture at the waist of the scaphoid bone?   It is often hard to see them.   There is a vague line, and there might be a small disunity in the line at the edge of the bone in the image.  

Mechanism of injury would be a fall off a bicycle.  

Thanks!
