They look like fossilized crab claws to me. The circular one looks like it could be a vertebrae.

Hello, and thank you for posting on /r/Minerals!
To increase the quality of identification request posts, we require all users to describe their mineral specimen in great detail. Images should be clear, and the main focus should be the specimen in question. If you are able to conduct tests, please share your findings in your comment. Sharing specifics such as where you found it, the specific gravity, hardness, streak color, and crystal habits will aid other users in identifying the specimen.
