1. I would say most likely fish.

2. A very nice fish vert. 

3. A very nice startodus jaw section. I found my only one a few months ago. They are not common finds. 

4. Not coprolite

5. Fish probably fish rib section.
 

Nice finds buddy.

I second @Nimravis I always end up having to pick up my jaw after these NSR posts, and these have made me do the same!

@JarrodB Any idea those vertebra were from what kind fish? As always, thank you for the knowledge transfer:D

From what I can see, #4 is too granular to be a coprolite. My best guess is a burrow or some sort of conglomerate.

I'm pretty sure you are right GeschWhat. I also had doubt when I picked it up.

It's very hard to id single verts down to anything past bony fish. I have a few huge ones that I'm pretty sure are Xiphactinus.

really like your Stratodus. It is reminiscent of the slightly toothed base of early Cylindracanthus rostral spines.
