Teeth or claws?

I found these teeth-like fossils on a beach close to the Sir Bani Yas ferry jetty, they were laying amoung thousands of tiny shells surrounding a pipe. The first fossil looks to me like a tooth, I have found a sawfish rostrum close to this beach before. The next two fossils have weird holes at the back, it looks like worn down crab pincers.1546507540005743766903.thumb.jpg.fd35df07cd691de4090e7e8ea0d85e77.jpg

I agree with the worn down crab pincers :) , but I dont know if they are fossil or recent.

growing old is mandatory but growing up is optional.

The last two might not be fossil, but the first one is definitly something of the kind

I agree with the distinction. The one on the left does seem more tooth like at least.

looks like a worn tooth to me and the two on the right crab claws. Another possibility for the one on the left is the very last hinge part of an oyster with the rest worn completely worn away.
