Welcome to TFF!

1 looks like a fish fin spine.

2 need better pictures from more angles.

3 is a shark vert,

That second item looks really interesting I'm anxious to see what it is!! The texture looks like these flakes of mastodon teeth I've found here in gmr but I'm sure that's a far stretch don't consider that an Id attempt just a comment haha. I'll be heading to nj first time to hunt on my birthday weekend vacation first weekend of march! I'm excited!!

I would bet that the third one is a Sawfish called Ischyrhiza Mira. Here is a picture of one of mine.

They look a lot alike

The second item has conchoidal fractures and looks a glassy mass. I think it could be Anthracite coal.

I agree with the given IDs of ulna for the first item, possibly racoon, and sawfish vert on the third item.

Second item is either coal, or slag.
