Are These Squid?

Do you know the age of the formation these were found in?

The left one definitely looks similar to a Belemnites.

They look like Belemnites to me, all pretty worn so I wouldn't want to even guess the species without more information, like age and location.

If these are from Big Brook or the surrounding area, they are Belemnitella americana.

Yes... rostra from Belemnitida of some kind... so "squid-like" rather than "squid" as we know them today.
