Found in the basement of an abandoned home in South Bend, Indiana, surrounded by farm land. What could this be? (Photo taken ~10 years ago, apologizes for the less-than-great quality)

Found in Round rock Texas, just north of Austin. Pieces found among weathered rubble at base of a limestone cliff rich in devils toenails, next to a creek. The Texas pocket geologic map I'm referencing is a bit confusing, showing the area to be at somewhat of a confluence of the "Del rio clay and Georgetown formation", Edwards limestone, Eagle ford group, and Buda Limestone. I'm very cautious about being the annoying newbie who calls every little rock he finds a fossil, so when I came across four large, curved, tooth shaped stones amid many devils toenails and scallops today, I was hesitant to get my hopes up. My thoughts are that they may be too large to be the teeth of any western interior seaway life that I know of - based on a google search, if these are teeth, they'd be as big if not bigger than even the teeth of tylosaurus, so I have my doubts. That said, my other amateur hunch is perhaps these are fillings of limestone holes that hardened. But I'll let you guys be the judge of that. Below is the first, stuck in matrix on almost every side - there is a small, smooth exposed patch in the right middle. Measurements are quite roughly 3.5 inches from the tip to the base of the matrix, I have no ruler handy at the moment Below is another look, closer this time an centered on the tip Here is the same piece, curved in towards me this time - And one last side profile to show the suspiciously smooth and even curvature Now, I'll show the other pieces I found. All of these , the one above included, were found within a few square meters of each other. It's possible they're associated. below is another angle of the piece above: And to finish, these last two pictures are of two completely separate bits, each only getting it's one picture ...and I would greatly appreciate any possible ID's or explanations! Thanks for reading through!

My girlfriend and I decided to go and dig around some this past weekend and did had an amazing time. Tons of smaller shark teeth, some vertebrae (one very cool not sure what), a few large teeth (not sure what), and a claw of some type (raptor for sure). I love to dig and trying to sharpen up a bit on types of fossils we find all input would be amazing thanks
