Greetings from Peyton, Co! Semi new to the state and definitely new to fossil hunting. I look forward to learning from y’all. On a recent camping trip to Pueblo, Co I found a a few more, and way more detailed fossils. The shell is beautiful, but I’m particularly curious what animal the long bone with a single tooth may have come from. Any ideas? Many thanks!

Is your last photo above is the bone you are wondering about?  It is a piece of the large Cretaceous clamshell called Inoceramus.  I think all your finds are different Inoceramuses.

A warm welcome to TFF from Austin, Tx.  @jpc has already nailed the ID.  These are each examples of Inoceramid Clams.  The first photo is a very nice example of a near-complete one.
