First two photos are of the same fossil. When I picked it up and put in in my bucket I was thinking it was a squished horn corals stuck together. As I cleaned it I came to realize that it's not horn coral. The third photo has the same sort of outer crust a with a hole in it. I've been searching with the photo matching devices. Nothing comes up similar for Devonian period. Then I searched to see if I could match it to Fossilized feces. No matching as I could not match it to anything with that category. Could the second one be fossilzed bone? Any ideas of where I could investigate further? Thank you for viewing and trying to help.

I inherited a lot of fossils from my grandmother. She collected these fossils in her youth when she dated a Navajo in the 60s. The pic is said to be a t rex root. I have alot of others. I can't find a authenticator. Can anyone help or know of one in the bay area, California. I'll post pics of the other fossils if anyone is interested. I'm still learning this forum. Bare with me please. Thank you for reading.

I know it’s been talked about on here for making displays for smaller specimens. But what about larger specimens? What do you do when you have a full length tail section or when you have a full skeleton? I look at the displays in stores and museums and I cannot figure it out. I can weld and all that. But what I cannot figure out is how they get the metal bands wrapped so tight around the bone. The bone obviously has to sit into the main frame before the bands get wrapped around certain areas. How do they do that without damaging the specimen? The only thing I could think of was the material may be stainless steel or aluminum, so it’s an easy metal to bend. But then after that, how is the display stand painted? I don’t think you can paint it before and then bend it. The paint would chip and flake off as soon as you bend it. So If anyone has any information how this process works, I would love your help
