It’s difficult to tell from the picture: Does the object in pics 2-4 appear to be a single tooth?

It’s too small for an adult pachyderm. And the tooth in 2-4 doesn’t resemble an elephant molar.

Also, the incisor would rule out a pachyderm. The bones look mammalian ... probably a pig of some sort based on dentition.

Any idea how old these are? You should have some estimate of ages of fossils commonly found in your area.

A guy from Ole Miss told me the large tooth I'm holding is around 8,000 years old and the vertebra is 65 million years old, so who knows. I question his creditability.
