Does anyone know the name of the formation in Florida where Pleistocene age fossils are found?

Hi everyone! I've been going through some Florida bones I acquired recently and these two stood out to me. I think they're both Mammoth/Mastodon, the first being a phalange and the second being a carpal or tarsal but I'm not sure and was hoping for a second opinion. Measurements are: 1.85 inches long, 1.5 inches tall, and 1.1 inches wide (4.7 x 3.8 x 2.8 cm) for the first piece aka "the phalange" 3.03 inches long, 1.57 inches tall, and 2.08 inches wide (7.7 x 4 x 5.3) for the second piece aka "the carpal" Any insight is greatly appreciated as always!

Here is another of the many coprolites that I have been finding in Sacha's Merritt Island matrix. I haven't focused on these too much, being more intrigued by the bones. But with all of Lori's interesting threads on coprolite lately, I figured that I would put this one out there. Many of the coprolites in this matrix resemble this one. Sometimes I can see tiny bones in them, often not. I am curious what animal these are from. Most of my finds are terrestrial, with an occasional fish otolith or vertebra. So, @GeschWhat and @Carl et al., what do you think?

This the smallest armadillo osteoderm that I have found yet. Is it even possible to ID it to species? I found it today in Sacha's 'frog toe' matrix.

Found at a Florida beach, East coast (St.Lucie County). Beach has reconstructive transplanted matrix with known fossils. Possible wash out, or possible fossil from off shore? This maybe too far gone to tell.
