Solved Fossil in tile at gym
I see a few of these in the locker room and shower tiles at my gym. I’ve always wondered what they are. Anyone know? Only snapped one quick pic because photography in the locker room is prohibited.

Solved What is this? Are these fossils?
Was passed down from my grandfather and I have no idea what is going on here. Are these rocks? Or fossils? Anyone know?
And before you rip me I know they aren’t fossils of mushrooms but the texture of the polished stones looks like some sort of natural symmetry. I know this happens in rocks naturally too from pressure.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Solved Thought this was just a rock but the closer I look, the grosser it gets. What am I looking at here?
Found in a box of antique fossils, arrow heads, shark/megalodon teeth and small meteorite pieces that I purchased from an antique store on the East Coast. Was told that it belonged to a geologist who worked all over the world so no location. It’s the size of a dime maybe, almost looks like some kind of fossilized and partially digested parasite or insect. If you look close enough, you can still see eggs/stomach contents intact. Im so grossed out right now, please tell me I am wrong and it is just a rock. I have been holding it all day rubbing the shiny parts.

Solved An elephant gave me this
About 15 years ago I worked as an elephant keeper in south Miami, Florida, around ten miles inland from the coast. One morning when I brought the elephants in for their bath, one had this resting on her head. She handed it to me, and I realized it was a fossil, and I kept it since it was both a cool fossil (I think?) and an amazing gift. Does anyone know what it is? We would sometimes find old shells and things in the rocks around zoo grounds, but this was the most interesting thing I ever saw.

Solved Found in rocks in our dirt basement! What is it?
We live in central New York near Lake Owasco. Digging out our dirt basement we found these fossils in a rock that spilt open!
The part that has me intrigued is the little claw like thing on the end…
It measures about 1” 3/8 wide and 1 1/8” long.
Anywho thanks in advance!

Solved Teeth my girlfriend found on the beach in the Netherlands
So my girlfriend just found these and it looks like mammal teeth to me but I don't know. Quick google search told me the colour might indicate it being a fossil.
Can anyone confirm this and maybe tell me what animal they think it belongs to?

Solved Grandparents found this while landscaping the beach’s of Eastern NC in the 80s. Any ideas?
My grandparents have had this around my whole life. It looks a lot heavier than it is, the inside is porous so I’m expecting it to be some sort of bone?

Solved Who are my tiny Lake Michigan friends?
Hello! I would love help identifying these guys... I have some ideas, but it feels like all of my Google searches only show much larger sized fossils even if they are similar in shape to these! The screw shaped ones have been especially hard to find a match for.
I noticed a couple of pentagon shapes amidst the circles... last slide is showing one of those.
Thanks for any ideas!!
