How about some more you left off:
There are two dashes, either an en dash or an em dash.
There is also the swung dash or tilde.
There are two kinds of quotation marks, either single or double.
You also left off the interrobang.
Curly brackets are even on you keyboard.
I'll leave off the virgule (forward slash) and backslash as they may not be considered punctuations marks.

That's all I can thing of for now. May be others.

Niagra Falls is not the only National Monument that has parts moving backward while the water is going forward. The SF Cable Cars, also. The bottom of the wheels are always going backward when the cars are moving forward. The outer rim will go below the height of the tracks.
