Aguja teeth or claws?

I found these sorting through some Aguja formation from West Texas, late Cretaceous, matrix. I am not sure if they are teeth or claws. I think that the middle tooth may be a croc, but not sure. The hash marks are 1mm. Any ideas?

FYI  The first 4 pics are of the first item, the next 3 pics are the 2nd, and the last 4 pics belong to the third item.

They are all teeth.  The first one possibly can be a Paronychodon kind of odd shape but all I haven on it

The second one looks a bit like a croc

The last one possibly a shark crown missing its base, like hybodus?
