Bone identification please

Found all of these in that same small area of a river. The depth was about 3" of water and they were on the surface of the river bed with vegetation growing on most of them. One (by the 20" mark on the tape) I am sure is a toe bone. Any help would be appretiated. This is in the mid-Alberta area.

That was what I thought, but I did the red hot needle test and they don't burn. Is it possible to have cow bones that don't burn?

You can not keep a needle hot enough to do a burn test on bone. It takes a sustained flame.
