Hello everyone,

First time posting here so sorry if I mess this up or offend anyone for a newbie asking for some ID help. 
On a recent trip to some of our Northern New Jersey spots, I’ve come across two things I have never found before and one vertebrae that I was hoping someone could maybe point me in a direction towards.  All from Holmdel area.  
 

Images 1 and 2 is possibly coprolite?  Has small “shell like” crust to it in some spots. 

 

3,4,5,6,7,8, and 9 is a small tooth in a piece of jaw bone or a claw piece possibly?

 

Last four is the vert found.  Roughly the size of a quarter.  Never have found one this size.  Not complete but any ideas?

 

Thanks so much in advance!

The small "tooth in jaw" is actually part of a ghost shrimp claw. 

First item looks like a concretion, to me.

Nice finds, welcome to TFF,  and unless you post something outright rude or demeaning you are not likely to offend anybody. Happy hunting!

Welcome to TFF.  If you are addicted to fossils, you are going to like this place.  Generally warm and friendly.

Here is anolder thread identifying a shark vert I found in Florida with discussion of the somewhat similar Sawfish vert and how to go about a identifying which shark!!!
