I found this metal detecting/fossil hunting. My metal detector picked it up buried about 4" in a field in south central Kansas. I've never seen a meteorite, so I don't know if this is one. It is magnetic.

These are the most numerous former inhabitants(that can be seen with naked eye) in an area I'm studying. Cottonwood Fm, lower Permian, Flint Hills Kansas. There's an odd feature at the anterior end that may help ID it. Would these indicate shallow water environment?

What would the indicators be for a shallow or shoreline environment.

I've been exploring a lower Permian site I think may have intermittently been a shallow marine environment. The location is Eastern Flint Hills, Kansas. What type and size of creatures would indicate a shallow or shoreline environment? Thanks ahead of time for any information. -
https://www.fhsu.edu/news/2018/08/fossil-data,-images-from-sternberg-museum-now-available-online This is pretty cool. Sternberg museum is putting everything on-line. The search function is awesome. They still have a lot of stuff to get scanned, but everything is at least listed now. This can be a great tool.

Hoping to ID the central object in this photo. It appears to be broken towards the narrower end. It has grooves running the length of it. It's approximately 1 mm or less in length. Lower Permian, Cottonwood member, Council grove group, Kansas.

These were all found in northwest Oklahoma, near the Kansas state line.

Found in Ellis county Kansas. Saw a small section sticking out and when I started to wash it I saw there was quite a few packed into the rock. I was able to get most of the rock off (I’m thinking limestone maybe?). Are these all little pieces of petrified wood? They are grey in color, the largest piece being about half an inch across. The black rock is intriguing as well. There are small black specs all over and then the larger one, seen in the first picture. There are also also a few shells smashed into it, but they are pretty difficult to see. I have a few pictures showing the entire thing and some close ups.

Things that make you go, huh?? Lol this appears to have some bone fragments, but can't say for sure. Anybody ever see anything like this??

Found this little guy about 2-2.5 inches in Northwest Kansas. I was thinking it was some kind of shell maybe on another shell, or perhaps a layred rock. When I found it, all that could be seen was a tip of the darker brown shell, the rest was completely covered in, I believe, limestone. Anyone know what I’m looking at exactly here? I have another piece much larger that looks very similar, but I am still working on cleaning and preparing it. Once it is finished I will also post pictures of that one. I can add more pictures as well.

I found this in Kansas. I picked it up because it was a cool rock. I'm just learning in here, but trying. I was going to use it in a rock sidewalk, but thought I would just make sure it wasn't a tooth or something first

I was hoping someone could tell me what the stick looking thing is. Its apx an inch and a quarter. It appears to have a smaller one to the left.

I live in Kansas and thought I had a lot of fossils. Well, I guess not. Is there a type of rock that houses more fossils than others? What signs (crystalization? ) a color? Etc should I look for?? Are fossils typically a certain color? Does anyone have fossils still in the matrix that they could post here to help me know what I'm looking for? Please. Thanks!!

I have a jaw I'm considering and it's labeled as Saurocephalus lanciformis. But after doing some research I found Saurodon to be almost the same fish. What would be the best way to label this jaw?
