What are these fossils found on Edisto Island?

I found these 2 fossils yesterday on Edisto Island walking north where the Townsend River spills into the Atlantic. I picked them up on the Surfline as the tide was going out. I’m thinking one might be from a sort of cetacea but I am not sure. Any help or identification would be greatly appreciated!

Brighter, in focus pictures are really going to be needed to identify these.

Hi,

 

Part of crab claw. Please put dimensions in cm or inches in the future, it is most of the time essential to a good identification.

I agree with crab claw. No Idea how old.

Best regards,
