The marcasite ball is interesting. Little Deep Creek is mainly in Natrona County, but its mouth is in Washakie County. Out of curiousity, I wonder if the marcasite is found in both counties.
The barite concretion looks suspicously like others I've seen from elsewhere in the US. It could very well be from where the label says, but so far I haven't found mention of these in literature. It would be nice if we could have a reference for this.
I might be a little too picky but I think the last one could have been labelled better. Collophane and phosphorite are two different things, so it would have been nice if the label was clearer as to what the specimen is. Also, see http://wsgs.wyo.gov/products/wsgs-2015-ri-68.pdf for a little more on Wyoming phosphates.

There's a popular Czech "Encyclopedia of Minerals" - I don't have it handy for a reference, but it pictures identical phosphate nodules from a Czech locality.

Little Deep Creek: https://www.mindat.org/loc-303623.html
Bates Hole: https://www.mindat.org/loc-303624.html
Two pages already exist that mention Cokeville: https://www.mindat.org/loc-171846.html and https://www.mindat.org/loc-173755.html
It would be best to contact the geology department and ask if one of these is where the specimen is from, or if it's from a different locality near Cokeville.

Thank you all for the help so far. Here is another specimen that I think needs page for unless the mine is under another name in mindat

You may want to contact the geology department about this one to see if they have any more information. Also, regarding the Cokeville specimen, seek verification if it's collophane, or if it's phosphorite that contains collophane.
