Nice teeth! 

I'm leaning towards Pliosauroidea(for the 2nd one) , but want to see what others say

First one is a fish similar to Pachyrhizodus. Second one is most likely a plesiosauroid, possibly Leptocleidid.

You might be wright with the first tooth. About the 2nd tooth,  isn't it so that Leptocleidid lived during early cretaceous? I doubted plesiosaur for the grooves...

Leptocleidus is a genus that lived in Early Cretaceous, right, but I am talking about a larger clade Leptocleidia that includes families Leptocleididae and Polycotylidae. Their teeth have enamel folds, look at these teeth from a polycotylid Dolichorhynchops
