Stuff from the beach, could be any age.  The tooth could even be human? (maybe two watermen had a gentlemanly disagreement?)  The tooth has no root and is roughly cuboidal.  (penny diameter is 0.75 inches= 19 mm).  The pyramidal "bone" has an 'enamel' surface on two sides, bone-looking third, and the most interesting side has a hole with three holes/channels in this hole (wouldn't photograph well with scanner).  Initially thought the small piece with enameled holes was shell but doesn't look or feel right (maybe coral, anemone, sponge-- have no real idea).  Any help with these three would be appreciated.

The smaller black piece is a fish dental plate with some teeth.

The other two look unidentifiable pieces. The larger is bone and the smaller is maybe mammal tooth.

Thanks ynot!  Smaller than my drum teeth, but a similar plate?  I've never found a drum tooth plate...

The tooth on the lower right could be from a tapir.

Thanks Rockwood!  I'll compare to tapir teeth images on-line
