Well, the top ova is a pinworm ova. I'm not sure of the species. The worm section looks like a mouse pinworm to me (Aspiculuris tetraptera), but the egg does not look like a mouse pinworm egg. They are usually more "banana" shaped. Normally you won't find the pinworms themselves in a fecal float. Usually about the only worm you'll see in a fecal float is Strongyloides larvae.
The bottom picture is an Ascarid (roundworm) egg.
Good photos, by the way.
