Can somebody help me identify? Got this from a friend. Probably found in France. Think it's a nice piece but I want to know if this is petrified wood and is the outer layer pyritised? Thnx.

Hi, I am new to the forum and glad to be amongst fellow enthusiasts. I recently made a rather wet and windy visit to Warden Point (Kent, UK). Amongst the usual pyritised shells, seed pods and wood on the foreshore I found 4 items that totally escape me and I would be grateful if any of you could provide any pointers. The first appeared to be a tooth but on closer examination seems to be either a conical piece of coral or a shell? The second seems to be a small section or articulation but I’ve no idea if this would be plant or animal? The third look like a section of bone with an appearance of flesh like indentations. On the final piece my mind was totally confused. Whilst I know pyritises can take on odd shapes but I started to convince myself that this was a small skull (2 eye orbits and a nose section) highly unlikely but worth asking the question. Many thanks for any help you can offer. Whatever the outcome I had a fine day and even bumped into the remains of a WWII sound mirror – an acoustic forerunner of radar, lying on the shore with an actual concrete radar station that had slipped down the cliff face intact, amazing. Best regards Keith
