camping and found these???

This isn't so much a camping question as it is a species question.
Hopefully someone can answer. I have had zero luck on any other forums.
While camping a few miles from my home in north central florida I came across these.

Seems to me it is from a feline. There were several piles of buried feces in the area.
My first suspicion is bobcat, since thats the only wild feline species in my area. But, don't they seem large for a bobcat?

I probably should also note. In the same area about two months ago my son found a bone which looked to me like a human femur bone (no joke). After we got home I kept thinking "what if" so I actually called the police, they took it from me. Next time we went camping I asked my son to show me where he found the bone. A few feet from the spot he showed me is where I found these.

The far left phalanx (distal) seems too pointed to be human, but the other 2 phalanges do look human to me. Does it look like the end of the left one has worn down or broken, or is it pretty clean?

Cats have a space in the tip for their claw. If it is solid, then it is not a cat.

I sure ain't no expert, but it looks like a bear finger to me.

My first thought was blackbear as well but I'm not certain.

I'd turn it in to someone that can identify it.
