The first one looks like a worn growth plate from a whale vert. I have one that is about that size and looks like a chocolate cookie.

The second one looks like a ear bone of a porpoise or whale.

As for the third one......its a bone probably in the "arm/hand" of a whale my money is on a humorous, radius, or ulna

I think the first one is a worn ray dermal denticle.

I agree with the others that the second is a whale tympanic bulla.

The third specimen looks like a toe bone of a terrestrial mammal. I think it belongs to a large ground sloth.
