Hello all, on our way to hike Mt Whitney area, my buddy stopped a t a local tire shop for a new one. This tire shop was of the 395 in California. Killing some time we walked out into their lot and I came upon a pile. I looked through it and found these three items. There were others but these were the only I picked up. The first 2 look like teeth and the third some type of bone. Thank you fir the help.

Not sure if you have any knowledge in the study of paleontology or not but
not one of the items/specimens you found are actually anything more than just rocks.

It all looks like slag to me. Certainly aren't fossils.
 
Last image appears to be fossilized sponge . . . maybe.
 
Could be oolitic, would need a hand lens to confirm
