Hadrosaur Unguals

I'm pretty sure these are Hadrosaur unguals, but i wanted confirmation.  Any other info about them would be appreciated.  I found them in the Judith formation in the Milk River badlands in northern Montana

 

I've also included another fossil that i found along with them.  I have no idea if it's from a Hadrosaur ... any ideas on it.

Yes the top two appear to be from a hadrosaur but would like to see a photo of the bottom side.  The top one looks very nice and is from the center toe Digit III. You will not be able to identify them any closer than Hadrosaurid indet. since there is nothing diagnostic in an ungual. 

 

The bottom toe bone is not dinosaurian and appears to be a more recent mammal.  Not my area of expertise but @Harry Pristis might help.
