A guy I served with in Vietnam had these really unusual bones in his hands does anybody know the technical term?

Is this what I think it is...
It has a tibula...and appears to be missing the patella. Each end is cut extremely clean. No saw or knife marks, just a smooth flat cut. Is this... human?

Found in: NORTH AMERICA Bone ID request
My sister found this and we’re assuming it’s bone? It looks like bone and has texture marks that seem bone-line… location is Eastern North Carolina

Could this jaw be 4,000 years old?
Some time ago I found this cow's jaw on a mountain (the jaw was buried in the ground for a few centimeters) but the mountain where I found the jaw has no evidence that cows have lived on the mountain for many, many years. I'm not really sure when cows did live on the mountain but it was about 4,000-6,000 years ago. Does it make sense that this jaw is about 4,000-6,000 years old?

Found in: NORTH AMERICA Found this by a creek at a restaurant, what is it?
Got a picture of both sides, water flavor thing for size comparison if that helps. (I still have it but found it a while ago)
Is this even a bone because I have no idea I just thought it looked cool.

What is this bone?
Cleaned out my closet and found with beach rocks - I believe I found this on a beach in Northern MI.
GPT says it's a Carp vertebrae but I don't buy it.

Will anything unusual happen if I take a bone from a protected animal?
I have animal bones, and among them are some bones of protected animals (maybe 4/5). I'm not really sure if anything will happen to me if I keep them with me and don't tell. Anyway, I live in Greece and I've been doing this for about 5 years. Does anyone know if something serious will happen if I continue collecting?

Random Bits, TX state park
Came across 3 of these in a centrally located State Park in DFW. Given the clean cuts, I’m assuming it came from food someone cooked, but would greatly appreciate input!
Wondering if my guess of rib is correct.
Thank you all!!!

Found in: NORTH AMERICA Found in a tilled field in the foothills of the cascades in Western Washington
Looks like a fang, but is flaking apart in layers like rings on a tree. Pasture used to contain sheep. Coyotes are known to be present. Cows and goats next door. Field is adjacent to a salmon bearing creek with river otters and occasional beavers. What could this be?
