Peace River ID needed

Thanks for numbering the items, Ken. That definitely makes it easier.

1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10, 13, 14 and 16, I believe, are geological in origin. Just interesting shaped rocks. #17 may also just be a rock, although the darker colored parts of it are interesting and almost look like there's some sort of structure.

Many of the fossils have already been identified, but I'll quickly go through them all anyways:

#4 is, indeed, a horse tooth.

#6 is a giant tortoise osteoderm.

#8 is a piece of a mammoth tooth.

#11 is a whitetail deer tooth.

#12 is another small piece of a mammoth tooth.

#15 is part of the end of a mammal bone, perhaps a humerus.

#1 trash (oyster shell fragment)

# 3 Barnacle

#2 and 5 are cool (can't id)

#7 looks like coprolite  

#9 Coral?

Some rocks

 

Just asking, What separates a camel tooth from a horse?

I have camel jaw bones, they were native to the America's long before horses were "brought" here.

I don't see a barnacle in #3.

Item #2

Peace River '17 (24).JPG

This one might also be a sponge.

My vote is with Cris all are correct to me

Thank you to all who responded!! Been busy with "real life" tasks and haven't gotten around to taking any more photos. I did forget to upload this one previously though. I believe these are both mammoth fragments but the one I'm more unsure of.
