Just guesses. #5 Chicken Track Jasper, #4 and #7 Green Tree Agate, #6 Mahagony Obsidian, #8 First thought was the end of a piece of Biggs, but not quite dark enough. Not an expert, so very willing to be corrected. Thanks

I'm with geodes4u on #6.
Could #3 be coprolite?

#5 Palamino Jasper?? Some of the pics are blurry and hard to tell. You have some stuff I've never seen. Be patient....somebody will come to your rescue! Wish I could be of more help. Steve

Palomino may be a better choice. Still not sure about #3. What about Mozarkite.

Number six obsidian that is mahogany/black could be a gold sheen, If you wet it, and tilt it in the light does it have a sheen to it? If so, you will want to work it about 10 to 15 degrees from the sheen plane for best effect. Woody

#5 looks like Disaster Peak, #10 looks like a brecciated jasper of some sort.
