I took my 3y/o son to look for fossils and found these items at Barton-on-Sea and am wondering what they are. I think the one on the right is a Ray tooth? This was from an imported rock to make the sea defences rather than in the substrate.

The top one may even be plastic!

Three pieces of snails?

2 gastropod fragments and a suggestive stone. The fragments are probably broken fossils.

The "ray tooth" on the right seems to made of calcite and looks like a bit of echinoderm, maybe echinoid fragment?

The top 2 fragments look like they belong to the Volute family & are quite common in the Barton area. Im headed there next week to collect Athleta.
