Hello, 

I was hopeful I could be educated on the age and identification on these pieces - they are really neat but I’m feeling very uneducated. If anyone can identify the age and species - I would be most grateful!

To me those all honestly look like modern pieces. They probably are a carnivorous mammal tooth and some sort of shell respectively. Do you remember where you found them?

Modern Bear teeth, I think, ... and a modern snail operculum.

Wait for some other opinions on the teeth, though.

They came from my grandfathers estate- he was a scientist though passed when I was a preteen… he had a jar of gallstones on his desk… very cool man.

The soft tissue inside has decayed, leaving only the enamel. Cool tooth!

In our old mythology. Bear was considered to be brother of humans and son of god.

There's no such thing as too many teeth.
