This little stone(?) caught my eye while sitting on Southwold Beach (UK). It’s basically a flint covered shoreline but the contours on this looked shell like. It could just be another bit of flint, but I’ve not seen this sort of weapon a piece before. thank you for any help - as usual

Hi, went fossil hunting with my family to Mappleton on Holderness coast last weekend and found this rock. Not sure what process formed it and whether it is a fossil or not, but it's got me really curious and I'd love to find out more if anyone knows. Has a kind of sticky out rim that goes around it. Thanks, Richard.

Hello once again! What follows are pictures of gifts that I recently received for various occasions, and I was hoping to get your input... Specimen #1: One of my colleagues gave me this rock for my birthday. She collected it when she visited the Rocky Mountains (Canadian side) a few years ago. I think it's a bunch of bryozoans - what do you think? Specimen #2: My husband's best friend was at a rock/mineral show (he's a geography/geology teacher) and he picked up this trilobite for me for Christmas. The guy who sold it to him included a card with some information regarding the location where it was found as well as its identity - is it correct? Specimen #3: One of my students gave me this rock (with a section cut off so you can see the inside) as a Christmas gift - it's very interesting-looking, and he wrote a pretty funny card to go along with it (please excuse the spelling and grammar - teenagers these days don't seem to care about that stuff, unfortunately - I'm not his English teacher, by the way!): Thanks so much!
