Big Brook, NJ - Help with ID

Hey all,

 

just got back from big brook yet again. I've basically been driving up there every weekend. I'm still new, and want to learn more on what I am finding. These photos may not be anything at all, but I'd love for some of you to help ID them for me. Thanks all! 

 

Is this first pic coprolite? Looks identical on the other side.

This thing has a cool looking design on it, sort of like small boxes. Is this petrified wood? It has some areas that are a little shiny, like coal. Is this just coal? The design threw me off.

Lastly, this thing is magnetic. I took it with me because it looked cool. Any idea if it's something (meteorite?) or just a slab of cement and iron, or something mixed it.

Oh, I almost forgot. I took these beauties with me. I love big brook. It's beautiful there. I also took a bucket with me and collected all glass shards I found, and disposed of them after my trip in a can. It's something we should all do to contribute to the natural beauty of these places (I'm sure you all do anyways). 

 

Thanks all!

The first one looks like one of the pesky ironstone concretions.

 I agree with Tony's other ID's too. :)
