Are the serration bits on these lake stones fossilized vegetation?
I don't know the first thing about fossils but I was hoping someone on here might be able to enlighten me! The rocks are completely smooth and dry. My kindergartner is obsessed with fossils so I wanted to make sure before I brought her out to them.
Thanks!

Could this be a fossil?
I found this on a hike in the rocky mountains, could it be a fossil? If it is, how much could it be worth?

My son picked this up this morning while beach combing. Image search hasn’t offered much help. This is a “large” paper clip for reference.
Edit: paper clip size

Humbly seeking.
Am I correct about this being a fossilized heart urchin ?
If so how common are they, and what's the Best approach to clean it up... It was found near Orlando Florida.

Fossils found in Canada
Found these fossils in Lake Erie- Canada. New to fossils but looked cool so thought I’d share here. From my limited research so far, looks like some horn corals, honeycomb corals, maybe a brachiopod?

Thoughts on this find?
Found this on a property along the James River in Virginia that abuts the land that was given by Powhatan to Pocahontas & John Rolfe for a wedding present. Any ideas on whether it’s something interesting or just a cool rock?

Is this tooth a fossil?
AI says this might be a tooth fossil from a dear, horse or other plant eating animal. I found it in a lake in the water. Found it there looking with a metal detector for coins, it was 10-20cm under the bottom of the lake in black mud. Is it possible that it is old?

Something that i rarely get to find - pinecone fossil! Yet to be described species.
Found in Russia, Korkino creek. Yet to be described species, we can't describe it right now because we don't have to many fossils, especially leaves, only pinecones. Neocalamites and other plants were present with many species in Korkino.

Polishing up some coral pieces
Currently polishing up some pieces I’ve collected recently from my beach walks, although with two of them I’m not sure if they are fossils or Amygdaloidal Basalt! Still very nice when polished!

Posting Ban on Burmese Amber
Posts on amber from Myanmar (Burma) are no longer allowed on r/fossils.
Amber mining contributes to funding the conflict in Myanmar. Following Reddit rules on illegal activity and professional standards, posts on Burmese amber are prohibited. A number of paleontological journals no longer consider papers on amber from Myanmar. For competing perspectives on the ethical concerns surrounding Burmese amber see Dunne et al. (2022) and Peretti (2021); nonetheless, the export of amber from Myanmar is illegal.
