Sorry if this is a stupid question. Just curious. Probably just a rock.

I was at Myrtle Beach (South Carolina), and I was digging in the sand since I was looking for shark teeth, then I found this, but it looked interesting, so I put it in my pocket, but I don't know how to tell fossils yet, so if you can, let me know what this is

Found this in shell limestone at a location (near Berlin) known for nothosaur fossils but the roundness of it makes me think it’s something else, any ideas?

My student found this rock, came asking if it was a fossil. Is it anything? Or is it just corrosion?

I've found this on a beach, likely brought to shore by sea currents.

Mediterranean Sea if that matters.

Help with ID

I’d like to ask for your help with the identification of this fossil. I found it twenty years ago in northern Poland near Gdansk and kept it in the drawer since then. I picked it up by a lake which was formed by glaciers if that’s of any importance.
The stone is approximately 3 cm in each direction.
Thanks!

Ventured into the Newark Super Group. Found some Upper Triassic aged fossils from the Lockatong Formation in SE Pennsylvania. Specifically Conchostracan, or Clam Shrimp. These are bivalved crustaceans that lived in a freshwater environment. Also included a couple photos of non-fossilized animals spotted on the trip.

Bought two Mosasaur teeth at a fair for the kids. Are they real? Any idea where they were found? How old are they? The woman selling didn't know anything.

I found this, it was in the north east USA. Can't recall exactly where but was looking to use it for an art piece and happened to catch me that it looked like a tooth, then further investigation looks like an impression of some aquatic with sharp teeth thoughts?

Austria, Hochlantsch

So my family was in a zoo on that mountain called Hochlantsch. And in the parking lot already my son found a rock looking like petrified wood. Looked like but I wasn't sure, said, if we already found this, there had to be more. Well, we found some more... Even a piece that looks like it had woodworms. Some minerals we'll have to check later, too.

Oh, and there was so much of these, those few we took won't be missed, I think/hope. People were actually walking on them and they were all around, they broke the rock for the from rubble built trail. We could see the layers of stone and inbetween there were brown trees. No one looked at these, no one seemed to be aware. Not even a sign was there.
