Hit the Big Brook area the other day.  It was awfully hot but at least the brook offered some relief.  Hardly found any shark teeth (I never do) but Belemnites were plentiful.  Lot's of different bivalves as well.  Sad to see that people were aggressively digging into the river bank when it's posted not to do so.  Once the land owners bring up collapsing river banks due to fossil hunting I wouldn't be surprised if there were more restrictions implemented.

Your top tooth looks like it may be Archaeolamna kopingensis; one of my favorite Cretaceous teeth.

Bulldozers and dirt Bulldozers and dirt
behind the trailer, my desert
Them red clay piles are heaven on earth
I get my rocks off, bulldozers and dirt

Awesome finds! Those are some nice belemnites; I really like when they are clear and smooth.
