The jaw is likely Enchodus

 

The small rock may be a paleozoic Favosites type coral - they are found sometimes  in the creeks.

The teeth are probably both Cretalamna appendiculata, the ray is definitely Brachyrhizodus wichitaensis, and I agree that the jaw is Enchodus. But the last one is most likely a non-fossil crystal. The favositids have a more definitive structure and on a larger scale.

This works well the other way around too. Tabulates that have this scale are usually very precisely geometrical.
