Bone pieces and a very interesting tooth. Not sure of the tooth I.D. 

Bulldozers and dirt Bulldozers and dirt
behind the trailer, my desert
Them red clay piles are heaven on earth
I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt

Nice stuff! You got some reptile/Dino bone chunks and a Croc tooth.

Nice. Thanks.  Is there any way to distinguish between dino and reptile?

I’d bet on reptile but it’s probably impossible to tell for sure

Thanks.  I haven't found a chunk like that since the dino toe last year.

Your first picture, I think that's Homo sapiens. This one doesn't appear fossilized, unless extremely old. :P

 

Your third picture, I wonder if it's a paddle bone fragment from a marine reptile? I have a few fragments from plesiosaur and it's somewhat looking similar to yours; also from Cretaceous. I'm definitely not an expert on bone anatomy and I hope others will weight on it.
