Possible FossiI iD help :)

So I have 3 peices Ive had for along time. Something about them  just gave me a fossil feeling.

I live near the Oregon coast and that is where I found them. Here are some good clear pictures of my 3 findings.

Could someone tell me if they just rocks or actually something cool? Thanks guys!

Maybe one of them is banded chert/flint.

The layering of the second piece is interesting. I can't quite tell if it's a fossil or not though.

The granular look in the next photo could be agate.

Interesting rocks. I would have picked them up as well.

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!

Without a doubt I would have picked up the second one shown. It sure looks somehow toothy, or at least organic, to me. And what about the striations that run through it? Aren't they odd for a rock?

Not at all,  striations or banding is quite common in many types of rocks, that one is the banded chert most likely.
