Chert, for the first 4, ... then an agate, and finally a piece of  limestone. Maybe a fossil in the limestone.

I'm not sure the 5th one is agate or chert. The chipped areas are all wrong for either type, not conchoidal. The raised chipped areas look too rough, like from a softer stone, or maybe slag. But I do agree on 1-4 being chert.

Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties.
