Your "no clue" bean-looking thing is a pycnodont crusher plate tooth.

Yep, Auspex beat me too it. I usually call them "fossil cashews" lol. Nice teeth!

Shark teeth on mud cracks.....

Those make me eager to get back to the chalk beds.

Thanks for posting. That's a lot more luck for shark teeth than I generally have in the KGM. You'll end up with a complete Cretalamna dental series with luck like that.
