I found this rock at the beach Point no point in WA. It looks like something organic that fossilized but I'm not sure what. It kind of reminds me of bone but the other fossilized bones I've seen don't quite have the same texture. To me, it doesn't look like petrified wood. Could it be some kind of coral that the glaciers brought over from Vancouver Island? Any thoughts or ideas?

Solved Eocene gastropods?

From the Yachats Formation on the Oregon Coast. Second picture highlights the smaller fossil on the first. Found with clams, scallops, crinoids, forams.

Trying to wrap my head around these cross sections. The smaller fossil looks like it is sliced through the middle of columella. Successive whorls hide earlier ones. Seems unique. Shell to cavity ratio is large. Maybe it's not a gastropod? Or a weird one.

Included the quarter for scale! I’ve had this since childhood and never really thought much of it besides it looking cool. It’s most likely that I found it in Maine but New Jersey is on the table as well. Any information is welcome!

SOLVED!!!! For context, I found this is in a rock bed in a residential area. It’s maybe an inch and a half long. I’d love to know what it is! I have a similar rock I found again in a similar type of rock bed at a restaurant lol. Maybe I’ll post that one too. I tried getting every possible angle for a better ID. Thank you all!!!!

Hi! I found this on Ostia Beach near Rome, Italy. It’s about 3 cm long. I think it might be a fossilized tooth, possibly from a shark, but I’m not sure. Could anyone help identify it? I’ve included several photos. Thanks!

An ID is welcome, if possible, but not my main concern. I’m sorry if this type of post isn’t welcome here. However I found this in a creek bed in Orchard Park, NY. I started chiseling away at it a bit and this is where I have gotten to. I don’t know if I should stop here, or if there’s a cleaner specimen underneath. Does anyone here have experience with this? Thanks in advance!!

Found in Ajax, Ontario. I see that there is a cephalopod shell in the corner of the same rock but this very square shape stumps me. Looks like nothing else I've seen from the ordovician period. Any idea?

From my research they appear to be from Mesozoic (Cretaceous more specifically) aged limestone. Most were also found in a massive clay deposit. Numbers have also been added in blue for the purpose of photo identification. Any and all suggestions are helpful!

I've had this thing for a really long time and I'm getting rid of some stuff. I can't find any fossils online with the soft tissue so intact and I'm wondering if it's worth anything or just interesting!

Are any of these fossils? Found in Alabama in or near a river.
First three photos are the same item. Second three photos are item two. Next three photos are item 3. Final photo is what I think is just a rock, but he found all of these and requested my assistance. Thank you! I think I’m going to have to find him a local fossil group or something.
