Teeth Maybe Not Teeth

 So I'm a huge rock hound. And have been collecting for quite a few years now and one of my categories is my teeth Maybe not teeth categories. I'm fully aware that not all of them are teeth. Some could be artifacts, some possibly effigies, and of course some possibly teeth. So if any can be identified from these not so great pictures, feel free to throw in your opinion. And these are just the most recent ones I've found. It all really started as a joke while I was Rock hunting one time with a bunch of friends and I've been researching teeth, shark teeth and all that. All the sudden I found what looked for real like a tooth, so I just shouted out, hey I just got a tooth, then I calmly say in a disappointed tone, well maybe it's not a tooth, and then that was that I was hooked ever since.

Oh yeah these were found Mid& Northeast Louisiana.

Sorry, I'm not seeing any teeth or artifacts.  Both have diagnostic features (root, enamel crown, etc. for teeth and evidence of being "worked" for artifacts).  

 

I agree with @debivort that the white item may be a marine fossil.  We would need closer pictures to confirm.

Big pile of roughly triangular rocks. Agree that the one in question may have an embedded marine fossil and that better photos of that one are needed (looks like a possible cross-section of a crinoid stem to me)

Thanks, @Meganeura, I missed that one and agree that it could be worked some. Would need better pictures to confirm.

The one Meganeura pointed out could just be natural fracture patterns.  Better pictures needed.

Yeah it’s totally possible it’s natural - just looks suspicious enough to me to warrant closer inspection (and clearer pics!)

Fossils? I dig it. :meg:

I agree that I don't see any teeth, unfortunately. This might be a fossil though. Perhaps marine invertebrate.

Yeah it is a coral fossil. I live in northeast Louisiana and during the end of the dinosaurs Louisiana was in the ocean, it way I understood it  north Louisiana was coastline of the gulf of Mexico. Anyway long story short, there is an abundance of ocean fossils.
