Is this a real Mososauridae tooth? Listed as 68MYO from Khouribga Morocco

Or does it??

Went on a date and collected these fossils together. Tonight we're drinking juice and cleaning them up (or attempting to) some need quite a bit of excavation. We know the bracciopods, horn corals, but are struggling with pic 4,5,6. It's shaped like a shell of some sort but we can't make out any discernable features. This was all gathered in western Ohio. It used to be an ocean there apparently.

Also last bonus photos of what we have finished already. Happy hunting!

The perfect date doesn't exist...

From the North Sea NL, probably late pleistocene.
I think its from a herbivore a kind of deer or maybe a saiga?
I cant find anything that matches with it.
Does anyone know from what animal this is?

Help id found in western Colorado 

Hi folks! Found this on a beach in San Juan, Puerto Rico today and it’s driving me and my friend nuts trying to figure out what it is! Closest thing I could find or think of was some sort of fish palate, but also it feels heavier like a coral. Except I can’t find any fossilized coral that has these sort of filled in holes— I just always see totally open or star-shaped holes when I try to search!

Coral, bone, or something else?

I was traveling and found a creek that hadn't seen water in a while. The water was down so low that I was able to go through that rocks in the creek bed. I found this little thing in the rocks that I'm pretty sure is a fossil of some kind. I've been trying to identify it, but to no results. Anyone have any ideas? Thank you in advance! Also, I was in Kentucky when I found it!

Kentucky Fossil?

I almost don’t even want to say what I think it is because I’m a little too giddy about possibly finding something this cool, and haven’t wanted to raise my hopes up too much! But… I thought maybe a mosasaur vertebra?

I found this on my walk 

Hey everyone, I’d like to get some opinions on what this could be. I found this object probably around 18-20 years ago when I was biking with my family at what I’m pretty sure was the Mohonk Preserve in the area of New Paltz, NY. I’ve kept it with me for all of these years because it’s one of the coolest and strangest things I’ve found while out in the woods, and my imagination tends to run wild when trying to figure out what could be. Is it a fossilized human toe? Is it fossilized poop? Is it some kind of slug-like creature? 

The interesting thing about it is there are two small protruding black nodes that look like they could be eyes on the tip that are symmetrically spaced apart, and I can see a small rust colored spot located dead center of the broken end of the object. It makes me wonder if that spot was some kind of spinal line nerve ending or something. 

I’d be just as happy if it turns out to be just some kind of weird shaped rock, but after I recently joined this sub I wanted to get everyone’s take on what it could possibly be. Thanks!

Is this some kind of fossil?

I'm pretty sure it has to be some kind of coral, but if possible to id, I would like to know more specifically what is is. I live in southern ontario, canada.

Circular fossil found on a cluster of barnacles?

Hey all, when I was younger I found hundreds of these snail-esque fossils in rocks at a place my family used to go cliff jumping. Very cool, my first fossil find. Anyone able to tell me what kind the spirally ones are or even other fossils that might be mixed in with them?

What kind of fossils are these? (Bull Shoals, Arkansas)

Hello - I posted the other day about some shark teeth and it turned into a fossilized bison tooth conversation. 

I went back to the same spot this morning and found another bison tooth and this busted up vertebrae. 

Tooth is 52 grams and crow measurement is 31.75 mm. Cementum is not scraping away with fingernail. 

Would like some thoughts on the vertebrae, which I’m fairly certain is fossilized. I know next to nothing, though. Thanks!

Tooth and Vertebrae - Central Texas 

Help Identify for my son and I. Also should I try and split this sediment seem. Thanks guys and gals.

Took my 4 year old out on a fossil hunt on a friend's property today (central Texas, near lampasas river). We found two small shells and three oyster types shells then on our way back, the rectangular one caught my eye. It has a lot of small porous holes that don't appear on the surrounding rock and a dark band though the side amd center. Cool rock or something else? It measures 11 centimeters.

Some of our fossil finds today. Unsure of what the larger one is. 

Found this is New Mexico. I thought it was a funny looking rock, but the more I look at it, the more I think fossil. Thoughts?

Is this a fossil? (Blaenavon, South Wales) (Sorry for multiple posts)

Are these fossils? (Blaenavon, South Wales)

Went to check out the spillway at the Union City Dam in PA, which I understand to contain shales and siltstones from Upper Devonian Chadokoin and Venango Formations. I’m a newbie to searching for fossils from this era and would appreciate IDs for any of these.

What is this bone lol I’m so confused I found it on a beach on the coast of wales, uk

Hey all I've been lurking around in the sub for a while and have recently become fascinated by the subject.

I took my 10 year old son on our first expedition this morning in our local area hoping to find something of intrigue (not expecting fossils).

I am located in the East Midlands, UK.
We ventured into some church ruins and decided to explore a natural spring which has its first documented use as a holy spring in the 13th century, naturally I thought it would be a good idea to retrieve some of the rocks which were submerged beneath the source of the spring and low and behold we spotted what appeared to be a miniature star fish embedded onto the rock. 

Upon closer inspection and a few Google searches it has lead me to believe we may have found a Criniod fossil/fossils

Please let me know what you experts think, many thanks.
