Found this in the woods in Ohio, posted in r/whatsthisrock and was told to post it here as well, trying to figure out if this is just a rock or a tooth of some kind. It’s roughly an inch and half long.

Any idea what kind of fossil this is? Found in North Texas. It's probably 6 inches long and an inch wide. Looked like electrical tubing to me!

Is this fossilized bone in limestone?
Hi, first post here. A family member unearthed this chunk of limestone (or possibly dolomite) in the top few feet of soil while doing septic field work. It looks suspiciously bony, but I'm under the impression that local limestone & dolomite are too old to contain bone. Is it fossilized something else? Thank you all in advance!
Location: East-central Waukesha County, Wisconsin. Surface deposits of glacial till within a large drumlin.

Gulf of Mexico shark teeth
It was a good day at the beach in Galveston TX yesterday. I've looked for ID charts for the area but not much luck. I think these are sand and bull shark teeth but can anyone confirm? Thanks!
