Peace River Finds - ID’s needed

Recommended Posts

Went hunting at Peace River today - found a bunch of stuff that I’m unsure of what they are. Still very much learning! So any ID’s on the following would be awesome:

 

1. Starting off with a bone - I’m mostly sure it’s a bone and not actually a fossil, but still no clue what from:

3DB5AAB8-AF7D-47ED-85AA-0289E980B5F1.thumb.jpeg.7bfe0c435749afa3e69d9468c899fb7e.jpeg7DE246C1-124B-41DD-9E5E-86050A01E64D.thumb.jpeg.48b59ab678ba78a8b24b0198f0b0635b.jpegCFF8F76D-B5E4-4AA8-ACD8-842EFF84FB96.thumb.jpeg.32e54bfda804736d429a14b66aac5082.jpeg

 

2. Also bone, but this one is definitely fossilized:

3. I’m assuming this a tooth, but I’m not sure if that’s right or what it’s from if so:

4 + 5. Two things I think are osteoderms/scutes, but also not sure what from:

75D5FE7D-FAEF-46B2-9097-EFA15B2AD2F6.thumb.jpeg.8301e203f1d5609a7a12ccfb39edc5b4.jpeg2F46E84C-9071-4200-8AC5-5D66F684B62D.thumb.jpeg.b450a0ae0b43809f248ea10c8c67f4ef.jpeg

6. Another tooth - not sure what from:

7. This is totally flat and just has very interesting patterns:

8. Another tooth possibly?

A8383FA6-B664-4D4D-B7CB-535F55FF5D07.thumb.jpeg.d68855254479d7cb9ba70630da2fd7b1.jpeg4D38E3A1-BA5E-4480-A358-D2E7883BEDCC.thumb.jpeg.826df30e5b2a58c020d686cb689ce488.jpeg

 

9. No clue if this is even a fossil, but it has some reddish colouring and striations that made me think bone:

10. This is flat on one side and has raised spikes on the other:

414D2041-ED5F-4BE8-97AB-EC0967B116EC.thumb.jpeg.db19c81a7b2b32c5e7110a6d350ff634.jpegBB30D826-BDA8-4370-9CB9-D8545FD3D88E.thumb.jpeg.32545cfdb706c84ffa70dc34b749f119.jpeg

11. And finally - petrified wood? It’s definitely NOT modern wood, doesn’t burn at all:

598311C0-36EA-4846-A688-2B9C6F033736.thumb.jpeg.272bd218f8823c4d4a1187e877abd2cc.jpeg

Thanks in advance!

2-ankle bone, maybe deer.

3-mammoth enamel?

4-possable gator osteoderm fragment.

6-horse tooth fragment.

8-gator tooth fragment.

9-is fossil.

10-possably urchin fragment.

Some of these may not be correct, but they are my best guesses.

Thank you! 2 makes sense, 3 also would make sense, the pictures don't do it justice but it's very... tooth. 4 is what I thought as well.

For 8 - it's actually a "flat" tooth, the picture makes it look 3D, but it's not at all conical. It's much closer to a barracuda tooth but a lot bigger.

For 9 - any guesses as to what it might be?
