First looks like a tilly bone (fish).

Second could be a vert fragment.

Third (?) rib fragment.

I think the first item may be the palm of a crab such as Dakoticancer (note: not a real firm ID on the genus, just a suggestion).  The second item may be an Enchodus palatine fang, and the third may be a finger of a decapod crab or lobster, possibly (but again not for certain) Hoploparia.

First pic is something likely invertebrate.  It is weird looking.  Second pic is piece of enchodus jaw.  Third item I would say is enchodus tooth, but could be piece of arthropod claw.  Hard to say for sure without seeing it in person, but I would go with enchodus, since there are no bumps on the inside curve, which would say shrimp claw.  Usually its shrimp claw rather than lobster claw.

Brightened the pics of the first item - definitely arthropod of some sort - possibly crab or ghost shrimp.

I'm getting more of a bone vibe on the last one.   

 

           

 

Maybe a turtle claw core?

Better picture of the end would help.

Still a bit blurry, ... fingers in focus, fossil isn't.

PS - I see a manicure in your future.

Take it from someone who does photography, unless he tries different angles thats as good as it will likely get.  You can thank Mr. Depth of Field for that.  Try more light and I mean more light on the end.  If he wants to know for sure just take it to dave parris, but I would be surprised if it actually was a turtle claw core, that would be really hard to find.

The first thing is a fragment of the ghost shrimp Mesostylus mortoni, most likely part of the claw. The second thing is an enchodus jaw piece. The third looks kind of like an enchodus tooth, but I'm not certain.

[FossilDAWG]

I disagree with the Mesostylus ID.  The claws of calianassids are smooth, not tuberculated.

I think, all of them are crab related fragments/parts, in different preservation status.

I agree with Don: crustacean: yes, Mesostylus, no. And the other two pieces are almost certainly Enchodus.
