I'm stumped on this find. Interesting line of symmetry runs through the fossil. Found in approximate location of a 2' diameter turtle back shell. It's not a bivalve I've ever seen. Sure looks like a vertebrae however the spinal cord would not have been closed on the anterior. What is it? Suggestions?

I have two gastropods for @MikeR to weigh in on if he has time. These were found in a pile of street material in a upcoming housing development in Sarasota County. I am assuming Tamiami Formation. 1. I am thinking Chicoreus floridanus but the opening looks different. On my specimen, it is fractured off a bit. 2. I am pretty sure this is Subpterynotus textilis, but being such a pretty fossil, I want to make sure. Now I will call on my resident experts @jcbshark and @Shellseeker , or anyone else that has an opinion, to aide in IDing these. The location was from dredging material piled up from the creation of a lake in Manatee County, by Bradenton. The pile was full of dugong ribs and shark teeth. 3. This looks like a horse tooth to me but MUCH smaller than ones I have found before. Jack, this one is for you! 4. Is this a bony fish vertebrae or shark. I am betting on fish.
