Florida Peace River Fossil unknowns

Recommended Posts

Howdy all! Here are a few things I found on the Peace River in Florida that I am not sure what they are. Any help would be appreciated! 

 

1. This may or may not be anything: But is so oddly symetrically shaped that I think it must be SOMETHING:

2. A knee cap of something?

3. I thought it was bone, but the striations are odd and there are rings on the end:

4. Is this an Alligator tooth?

5. I have no idea what the heck this is:

Just back from a weekend trip and first chance to look at the site.  The only one I would hazard a guess on is #3.  Based on the rings on the end and how solid it looks I would think it is Dugong.  I wouldn't think #4 is alligator due to the shape.  Alligator teeth are more conical and have two seam like striations along opposite sides of the tooth.
