What type of rock is this?

Found this smooth, dark rock in a central Texas river bed. Theres lots of limestone with fossilized sea shells around the river. Any idea of what it could be?

Is this some kind of tooth?

Hello people! I went back to the site in Central Texas where I found the dinosaur tracks (confirmed 🎉) and I found what looks to be a tooth of some kind. It was about 30 feet away from the tracks and right next to the water. It was imbedded inside so I dug it out with a screwdriver. I think there’s a whole lot more stuff around it with the same color but they’re a lot tougher to get it out. The last picture is of another possible fossil of the same color found a couple inches away from the one I dug out (its a terrible picture I’ll retake it tomorrow).

If yes, do let me know! If you have an idea of what animal it came from, also let know!

Are these tracks?

I was walking along a central Texas river when I saw these imprints on the stone that resemble dinosaur feet. I thought that since we’re only 3 hours from Dinosaur Valley State Park, it might not be too far fetched of a theory. They’re maybe 4 feet away from each other and I’ve only found these two so far. I attached traced images too so it’s easier to see the outline that I see. Please let me know!

edit: any theories as to what dinosaur it could be?

Mystery fossils!

Hi guys! I found like what seems to be some fossils here in central Texas beside a river, but I have no idea what they may be. I don’t know if this community helps with fossil identification but I decided I would give it a shot because y’all seem like some very knowledgeable folks and I think fossils are cool! I plan on coming back to see if I can uncover some more fossils because this place is a gold mine!! Any suggestions and ideas would be mucho appreciated, thanks y’all.
