It's been awhile since I have posted here. Found on beach in San Francisco. Area has Merced deposit fossils, mostly marine sediments Pliocene-Pleistocene. I found two similar fossils side by side near the tide line. There are clearly limpets in one part of the fossil but I want to know what the white part is. Is it barnacle? bone?

Found on beach north of San Francisco. Area has Merced deposit fossils, mostly marine sediments Pliocene-Pleistocene but I believe there are also terrestrial fossils in the area. What is it? It looks vaguely like lichen. or possibly a seed? Part of the attached rock was very black and shiny and flinty and had a sulphury/smokey aroma.

It's been awhile since I have posted here. Found on beach in San Francisco. Area has Merced deposit fossils, mostly marine sediments Pliocene-Pleistocene. I am assuming it's a bivalve of some sort. I have found similar fossils at this location. The unusual thing about this one is it has symmetrical grooves on both sides on one end. I will first post pictures to give an overview of the fossil and in the comments will post the area with the "grooves". I am having trouble attaching files. will try attaching in comments.
