Opinions on these fossils?

I have a small few things I'd like for you to look at and get your opinion on.

What looks to be bone fragments. They span about 3-4 inches across this large rock.

I like to pretend this is some kind of egg but it's small, about the size of a chicken egg.
I like the speckled cracked look. What kind of rock is this?

The spino tooth was not found by myself, it was bought online from the kem kem beds. Does it appear to be a real authentic dinosaur tooth? 2 and a half inches.

Beautifel and real Spinosaurus tooth. Decent sized also.

Is this a shell or a tooth? Silly question...

Appears to be horn coral. I don't know much about these but without exact location and age I think it won't be possible to bring this down to species level.

 

I can't help much with the others, but other people will need a location to ID these.

Good luck.

I agree with Squalicorax sp. for the shark tooth. Definitely corals and a really cool tooth. Don't know about the others though.

the first three are corals, the ridged tooth shaped ones in the dishes are horn corals. Most look Mississippian in age, except for the dino teeth and shark tooth

Wow, I really thought that first picture was some type of bone. 

Thanks for the replies, all are appreciated. Aside from the two teeth, all others are found in my yard right here in middle tennessee. I wish we had interesting dino stuff here.

Really glad to know my shark and spino teeth are real.

The spongy structure may be the result of microboring organism infestation.
