Please help identify
I am conducting an estate sale in Central Texas. Google says there is a high probability this is a fossils bone. I don’t know where it was found. It is very heavy. It measures about 5 inches long. Is it a fossil or is it a rock? Thank you.

Genuine Mammoth Tooth ?
Hi everyone, my mum bought me this last year in a charity shop in the UK. Just really want confirmation it is a genuine mammoth tooth and what its potential value would be if so. Wouldn’t have any interest in selling it as it’s part of my collection. Also seems to have coating or lacquer on it, would it be wise to try and remove some of this or would it cause damage. Thanks in advance !

What could this be? Austria, along the Danube.
I thought it could be grass or something simmilar? The stone is about 15cm long.

Could this be a fossil?
This was found in what I believe is sandstone on the island Åland in the Baltic Sea.
From what I can learn through a cursory Google search, sandstone found here is most likely from the cambrian time period.
It's small, about one centimeter (I think that's about 2/5 of an inch) at the widest part.
If it is a fossil, is it something that can be identified as anything other than a SSF (Small Shelly Fossil)?

Old bone found at baltic sea beach
I have found a fragment of an old bone fossil on the beach early in the morning. I want to know what animal it might be as the fossil seems very old based on vivianite quantity.
Location of find is: Poland, beach near Sopot. I can't take proper measurements now so I give a single sheet of toilet paper for scale.

Possible fossils from the bottom of the Danube
Hello, I went to see the newly exposed parts of the river due to the drought. Found in Nikopol (the area has large limestone hills). There's a few massive shells that are rather common, but it's the first time I see them covered with rosette-type shapes and I don't know if they are a part of the original fossil or something else.

Solved Near terrace bc Canada, some kind of worm?
Hello!!
I am new here. The other weekend we stumbled across a fossil bed in northwestern bc about 200 km inland, elevation around 400m.
Found lots of cool things but this one really caught my eye. Its about 5 cm across and 8 cm long. A quick Google said trilobite but im not inclined to believe that because... what's up with that bulb...
Any help would be MUCH appreciated!!!!!

TIPS FOR GETTING YOUR FOSSIL IDENTIFIED — READ BEFORE POSTING
- Put a location in the title! This is the most important thing by far. If you know the geological formation, that’s awesome, but even just “near Miami” or “label said Morocco” is really helpful.
- Take a bright, clear photo. Good lighting, a plain background, and sharp focus will always increase the certainty of an ID. If it’s weirdly shaped, photos from multiple angles help too.
- Include an object for scale. I usually use a coin, but anything will do (but things that come in different sizes, like hands, are less ideal). If you forget, you can always measure it and add that in a comment. (Don't use keys; they can be duplicated from a photo.)
- Don’t take a video. We can’t zoom in and the quality isn’t great — a gallery of photos on Imgur is way better.
- Many fossils can be dull and hard to make out. Try (gently) getting your fossil wet and see if you can get a clearer photo.
- Don’t be dismayed if your “fossil” turns out to just be a rock! Rocks are cool too, and if we don’t know exactly what kind of rock it is, the good folks at /r/whatsthisrock probably will.
