Welcome here! You came to the right place. Unfortunately, your pics are a bit too blurry for me - you may have gotten a little too close with camera. It's also important to show us both "seams" on each marble - you got the idea on the blue/white one
-
Sorta overload for this OG. You'll make me a lot happier with no more than 4 marbles per post. The green-base is a CAC swirl. Are the "shooters" 3/4"? I'll try to get back to the others later.🙂
-
Pretty TriLite, I think.
-
I think the first is an Alley from St. Mary's and the second is MK, i.e., William's got it.
-
I think it's a Pelt Rainbo with that top ribbon flipped over to the other side. If you look real close with a magnifier, I'll bet the color on the top ribbon originates on the opposite side of the seam from where it lies.
-
It looks like a WV Swirl with a big fold in it to me.
-
I think there is a real good chance of Kokomo on the fourth marble in your OP, Melissa, maybe the 5th too. The rest look mostly Peltier to me, although there might be another Kokomo hiding in there too. Do any of them react to UV?
-
This one is Rvenswood. The striping pattern (not color, obviously) looks similar and the kind of of yellow on your marble is rare on a Ravenswood. I've only seen similar on the Solar Flares. That's why I'm waffling Alley vs. Ravenswood. Here is your marble again . . . And I've not seen that kind of thin tight striping on an Alley Exotic Coral.
-
And thank you for the date, Jeff. I thought they might be a bit later.
-
We need @wvrons to take a look at this one. It doesn't impress me as CAC so it almost has to be Ravenswood or Alley.

There are a bunch of good Alleys in this post, Dave. This one's a dandy and not too easy to find.
-
First, I'd call it a really dandy marble. - I'd love to see it backlit. What size is it? What I'd most like to call it is . . . mine. 🙂 I think it's a Ravenswood Solar Flare but it might be an Alley Exotic Coral. It's a great marble, either way.
-
I don't think either is a Bronze Zebra. The primary ribbons and AV on those are pretty distinctive.
-
When you do, please buy one that will read in fractional inches - decimals are a downer for marbles IMO.
-
I need to correct myself. I do not think this is any kind of Tiger Eye - just a big Vitro Patch and Ribbon. It seems to have a patch and ribbon style like a Type I Tiger Eye but they have white veneered on clear transparent base glass.
-
What size is it?
-
I think newer MK too - they have two patches. The older patch & ribbon style have one patch and two ribbons. Having said that, both can get a little crazy sometimes with patches that look more like ribbons and ribbons that look more like patches.
-
It's a big ol' Vitro Tiger Eye Type IV, as far as I can tell. The patch and ribbons can get pretty wild in the bigger sizes.
-
This is a tough one because of the patch shape and the cutoffs, I want to say Akro but I think there is a good chance it's just an odd Peltier because they made a lot of black AV patches like this and I have not seen many, if any, Akros that are similar.

Oh yeah, that's a good marble - nice find! It's great when you find nice marbles you didn't know you had. 🙂 -
