The two amber-colored, bullet-shaped objects (circled) are belemnite 'guards' (an internal supporting structure from squid-like creatures).

To my old eyes, the rest look like they are examples of the infamous Big Brook concretions.

Ty so much admin- those, and the 1 above it I saw simularities ofon fossilguys site pics tho dudnt underdtand quite what it was, ty for the better explanation for me to grasp it. I know also the one in the row over to the eft of your circe-1st one in that row, is most likely a fish (or similar) vertabra as the marrows also evident on the side. I was trying to get the iron things- tho the circles are well defined, which I found off, as we'll ad the coloration, but ths is rather hard t start w + I think teeth woildbe beem a much easer find to start I'd'ing n learning! Thanks again for your help- I csn get better pics if need be but sunce mny are usedto big brook finds I know many are prob just rocks LOL!!

I agree with Auspex.

Thanks again- guess ill stick w looking for teeth lol!! Good to know for our next trip

Keep picking up anything unusual! Many tears have been shed over discarding what turned out to be a good specimen; collect in the field, and sort it out later :)

This turned out to be an Hybodus cephalic clasper:
