New river finds in Iowa

My son and I found these yesterday in a few inches of water right next to each other. I would guess they are most likely to be from the same creature. From other posts seen here I would guess bison? Thanks for looking!

Looks like this maybe a Bison Antiqus which was another extinct species of Bison.  Difference is the two extra holes on the side.  Steppe bison doesn't have that.  Only other species that I know has large holes on the sides are moose or cow.  Since this was found with other Pleistocene bones, it's probably an ancient bison.
