The green thing is a seal/stamp, used with vermilion ink. For documents, artwork, etc. Not sure this one is old.

the green jadeish stone looking item is a form of stamp "seal" or chop mark --see the lettering on the botton of it ? --to see what it says use a water based paint dip and stamp on paper -- then match up the letters to alapabet to decode it -- use water based paint so it will wash off the stamp . nice items --from alaska by the look of the other items

Probably some kind of a stamp, but you don't give us a very good description or photo. Makes it difficult for anyone to get it right. Monty

Well it's not a bone pin or needle, and its not a bird or turtle effigy, or a bone fish hook.
Nice artifacts, all found in Texas?
No idea on the chinese thingy.

hard to say on the age of the stamp --the chinese and russians both were heavily involved in the fur trade with the native alaskans for many years --could be anywhere from early 1900's to as far back as the 1700's being its made of stone / jade hard to tell -- but i think its clearly got some age to it --newer type items of this sort would no be made of stone / jade - way too time consuming --
