Not sure what these are

I went out exploring for possible fossils, and found a lot of what appear to be teeth, vertebrae, and assorted bones. Any further help with identification of these interesting artifacts would be greatly appreciated as I'm new to this fascinating field.

I meant where in terms of state and county. This assists us in being able to pin down a geologic age. ;) 

 

How would you describe the material? Is it metallic? Rubbery? Like stone?

Both have almost identical holes on the side, serrated at the bottom, and on the smoother side there are several divets that are the same on both of the pieces. I'm puzzled. Thanks for the feedback, TFF!

I should have identified these further . . .  The larger examples are from Dasypus bellus, the "beautiful armadillo" of the Florida Pleistocene.  The smaller examples (top left and far right) are from the extant species, Dasypus novemcinctus.
