Does anyone know what fossil this is and if it is a fossil? Some people say it’s a crinoid fossil, Native American bead, or just a rock.

Hi members, glad to be here, I have a collection of fossils that mainly I want to ID and see also if they are real. My topic now is for amber beads but not sure if they are real or fake. I tried the following: UV light: Fluoresce green (light green) Hot needle test; It smells sweet pine ( after few seconds, not immediately). No definitely not plastic, in Greece there are pines I know the smell. Needle does not penetrate easily the beads. BUT I tried seawater, does not float, I tried also a lot of cooking salt (with iodine) and tap drinking water very warm, (not distilled water) in a stainless metal pan bowl (I had seen in a you tube video was not recommending metal bowl,I do not know why). I have put so much salt that it does not dissolve anymore. Result: They drop., Funny they seem to float a bit before they drop to the bottom, they do not drop down like rocks. Also if rubbed (for a minute) on a sweater (cotton or wool) the bead does not create static electricity, I do not feel my hair going up when I place the bead on my head. So two white flags and two red flags. Do I have topal? (I have no idea if topal behaves differently than amber) Do I have a plastic fake that smells like pine? Or I have real amber but I do something wrong? Any help? Thank you for any possible answer. Note: the same happens for various different beads ie: creamy yellow, light brown with spangles etc.

I found this in the peace river in Florida. What is it?

I recently bought an unpolished turritella agate slab from a friend & he included an end piece with it. I was looking at a broken area of the end piece with my loupe and saw something that got me curious. So... I fired up my Dino-lite and ended up even more curious. The agate filling some of the shells looks almost like it is comprised of beads. From what I've seen online, it seems to be a common thing, but I haven't found any explanation of it. Pics 1 - 4 are from the rough broken section on the end piece, the 5th is from the slab itself (still not polished, just wet). Any ideas? I think it's quite pretty, but it's being an unknown (to me at least) has my mind clamoring for an answer.
