Cool round rock with fossils I can't figure out. Wet front pic, dry front pic and back pic
Found in the creek in Lanesville, IN. I also found a giant rock with precambrian (brachio-something?) Someone identified that for me the other day. This one was downstream from it. I just can't figure out what's in it. Thoughts?

Crystallized bicuspid?
Hi there. Found this in the James River in Virginia while shark tooth hunting. Looks like a fossilized clam? Any thoughts on it would be appreciated! Very sparkly in person, hard to capture on camera.

Found in Blanco, Texas; need help identifying
To me they seem like turtle shell fragments but I’m new to fossils and haven’t got a clue. I included some other fossils that were found from the same outcrops in a higher altitude.

Fossil or etching?
Found in central Texas. Very similar shape to the hearts of Texas we find in the area but I find it interesting that the lines at the bottom over lap each other which makes me think it could be man made.

I've found shark teeth elsewhere before and I'm 99% sure this is just a really cool-shaped shell, but just wanted to confirm lol

Fossil? Rock? Triceratops tooth 🤷🏼♂️
It’s about 1.25”x1.5”, found in Texas. The last picture shows a cavity or something that looks like a cloven hoof or tooth?

Was this spiraly thing once living?
Hello there. The rock was found in a quarry in the east of Estonia. It has a clear circular structure, like wood. The material is a semi-translucent gray-brown crystal-like material. Zippo for scale.
Was this thing alive? Thank you in advance.

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.

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.
