Hello all! 
Over the past few months I have gone down to Big Brook in New Jersey and found a few fossils that I do not quite know exactly what they are. I have a general idea on what a few may be.

this tooth is about 1.5 cm long and had serrations on the small part of the remaining edge. I think it is probably mosasaur but it seems a little small. It also has a small curve in it.

Maybe the underside of a crab? Under a microscope it is very bumpy.

 Maybe a small scute?

small piece of deformed enamel from something?

Huge shark tooth for this area. Maybe goblin but im not 100% sure and would like a little more certainty.

 

Thank you all!

Agree #2 is the ventral aspect of a crab; wide "apron" would indicate female, unsure as to genus or species.

I think this is the carapace, not the underside.

It’s Scapanorhynchus texanus.
