Is this a fossil in my jasper? Is that even possible?
This looks like a little creature of some kind but I don't know. Stone is from North Africa.

Weird bryozoan? in Middle Devonian shale, eastern PA
Was looking at fossils in this formation from the mid-Devonian that were mostly crinoid sections, brachiopods, different corals and bryozoans. Most of the bryozoans had grid-type tabulate morphology, but I found this one with a tapered(?) shape that looks almost looks like a leaf. I showed this to my professors and they weren’t sure why/what would have this shape. Unfortunately we weren’t able to take anything from there so this is the only picture I have :/

My daughter and her friend found this in our backyard in southeast Michigan and I’m having the damndest time figuring out what it is.
There are two in the stone.

White lines on rock?
I found this rock near St. Louis, MO. It has some horned coral fossils and also quartz. I saw the thin white lines and was wondering if it was just scratches or an actual fossil. I think there's some parts of a fossilized coral, but I'm not 100% sure.
