Doug,
I saw your cruciform post and it reminded me of these beads and worked obsidian items from father south in Mexico.
Here are a couple of old pictures of the drilled obsidian beads and a couple of small effigies that are typically found with the cruciform artifacts in Western Mexico and Central Mexico. The bat effigy is pretty common, and the other is likely sea turtle effigy. Some of the beads have a heavy polish, not quite as smooth as many of your cruciforms. I didn't get any of the cruciform ones, they aren't nearly as common as these.
