Have I found a tiny fossilized mammal jaw? Found from the gulf of kutch(65-2 mya) late cretaceous-tertiary. It was found in a creek .

I see a vertical pupil raptor eye and embryo in the egg shaped, smooth rock. I was looking for geodes, I found this tiny geode, broke it open at home, and the other half broke into pieces - 3 or 4 crumbly. I did this 17 years ago. Now, I have joined a lapidary group, ALMS Alabama, and been to a meeting, and I have had this on my shelf for 17 years. I was thinking it is an ugly geode nodule? But then, yesterday I thought, it looks like an egg, it's insides are multicolored like a fossilized egg? I then go my magnifying glass and I can see an eye, and 3 part skull with divisions lines, and the raptor evil eye. I can see a jawbone and mandible seperation, skull sutures seperation, eye, and back bone has these protrusions, humps that have 3 dots on them, like a stegasaurus? But very small, see image. Dime coin is in image. It has a dimple perfect on the outside end of the egg and smooth uniform surface. Also, appears to be a snout and mouth and body, tail, and possibly wing bones, similar to a velociraptor? Can you tell me if it is a dinosaur embryo, fossilized? My book does not show, and these are very rare, China holds the record for smallest embryo. Some dinosaur eggs fossils are as small as 0.7 inches. Tis is bigger than that. Thanks. I have more images. Stop the GIF by tapping on it? It also has the ear hole of hole behind the jawbone mandible.

Hello everyone, I'm from Belgium and currently tasked with securing a secondary fossil collection owned by the grandfather of my husband. We are emptying an attic, and securing quite a number of fossils. Many of them already have an ID, some of them however lack one. Apologies in advance for the poor quality of pictures, there is little to no light/electricity inside the rooms we need to vacate, so picture quality will be appalling at first. I am aiming for a basic ID here, if possible I might be able to provide more detailed pictures once the fossils have been properly packed and moved. #1 : Could this be a dinosaur egg? #2: vertebrae of different sizes + plate of petrified wood in the background. Looking for possible ID on these vertebrae. #3: Petrified wood, which type? #4 : Small crustacean? #5: Fossilized shell from morocco? #6: Partial fossilized jaw? #7: Belemnoidea, the two in the front? (they seem to be very large).
