Hey. I have started rock hunting and have found quite a lot that may or may not be fossils. I have found a large number of fossilized shell, but those are the only ones I’m 100% sure are actually fossils. If anyone could help me out on what characteristics to look for or any other advice it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you 😊 I have included pics of a few I’ve found. #1 #2 #3

This may be a wild goose hunt, but my teens brought back two rocks (private land, permitted collection) near Wimberley, Texas in Hays County. I'm hoping to have some rough idea of if they are fossils and what general family they may have fallen into. I apologize for the lack of a ruler as I am not at home. The large disk shaped possible fossil is about an inch and a quarter across. The larger flat one is about an inch and a half. If anyone has recommended resources for better understanding the geology and fossil history of this area, I would be grateful for any direction.

We stayed at a private ranch this weekend in Kyle, Texas (Hays County). The Blanco River runs right through the property, and tons of rocks line the shoreline. We know absolutely nothing about rocks or fossils, except for what you learn in 5th grade science and that they're pretty cool. But we found some neat rocks that have impressions of shells and some with shells embedded in them. A quick google search points to the rocks being limestone, but not sure. Any help identifying our little treasures is greatly appreciated. Photos of 2 different large rocks are below. Thanks in advance!
