Crab claws or twigs or what?

Hello all

i keep finding these and hope they are crab claws or similar and hopefully not just something off a tree. I attached photos of four although I have a number more. At least I’m pretty sure you won’t say they’re concretions. Thank you in advance1867D0B0-6E12-4718-8EE7-0963651E7A14.thumb.jpeg.ac7aaee93824eec41dccdea28ed083bd.jpeg

Look like crab or ghost shrimp claws to me.  

Nice ones! :)

Looking as worn as these are but still this robust would point toward crab ?

Or maybe there's just concretion obscuring the surface ? :)

Being as these are from Big Brook, I think ghost shrimp is more likely. 

Crabs are rather rare there. Not unheard of, but rare.

Yeah they’re ghost shrimp pincers. Specifically the ones from the feeder claw.

I hadn't picked up on the scale ! These are tiny ?

I've heard it said that if you scaled real car the same as a toy car it would stand rough play better because the sheet metal would be 4" thick.
