Just wondering if anyone may have any idea as to what these are, found today in Wenlock Edge, which is majorly silurian limestone.

The first five are all of the same piece.

 

Secondly - longshot, but could tis be a tooth? 

 

And lastly, is the small spiral, a sort of Gastropod?

 

TIA :)

I don't see anything resembling a tooth here.  :unsure:

 

Last one is definitely a gastropod. 

The others look like cross sections through something. 
Maybe chert nodules in limestone.

Totally new to all of this really, so i'm not all clued up lol - The bit i meant by the tooth question is the flat triangular bit iv'e circled, it's completely different to anything else on the rock, and is very flat.. I;m probably wishful thinking, but asking is learning! 

Also, just looked up Chert Nodule, you could well be right, Some parts seem almost fiberous looking, and a lot lighter than the rest of the rock..

Thanks btw :)

I can't see too clearly on wifey's tiny phone screen and with my ever weakening eyesight, but that first piece looks more like what we used to call Mountain Limestone, Lower Carboniferous than the classic orange to yellow  Wenlock limestone series. The second piece looks like a pebble in limestone.
