Nice haul, I love the color diversity on the teeth.  Not sure about id's from single pics, but I'll make some guesses until the experts weigh in.  Not sure about the 2nd pic or the bigger item in the 3rd. The smaller three in the third pic look like a worn and suggestively shaped concretion, a worn root of a goblin shark tooth and a broken enchodus tooth

 

NJFossils is a good reference site

Nice assortment of teeth and finds. I really like the brachiopods at the bottom of the first pic. The 2 small items in the bottom of the second pic appear to be some type of pharyngeal teeth to me.

Really nice haul and great variety of finds. Congratulations. Looks like you hit the Brook on an exceptionally good day. It looks like you have an excellent complete fish vert in the lower right hand corner above the belemnite and small shark vert. Those aren't terribly common. Also like those brachs- nice score!

I agree with Don,... the middle picture shows pharyngeal teeth of a pycnodont fish - possibly Anomaeodus phasolus

I think the other photo shows some fish teeth, with a possible concretion at the top.

I also see some nice Enchodus teeth, crab/shrimp claws, and some gastropod steinkerns. 

Productive trip for you - thanks for posting it.

I believe some of the yellow ones you circled are actually Archaeolamna kopingensis.

It still doesn't look like bone or anything biological, rather a concretion like Fossildude19 said.

It is part of an Enchodus jaw.

Given the size and shape of the broken fang, probably Enchodus petrosus lower jaw. E. petrosus is the most common Enchodus found in that stream.
