I am selling my dad's estate and came across these. He had purchased for me as I collect rocks and seashells. I want to sell them to defray burial expenses but dont feel comfortable doing so without knowing whether these are "real." Anyone willing to advise me as to authenticity? Value? Here are 3 pieces. They are approx 5" wide each. The first appears to be a clam shell. The next two appear to be sediments with shells or shell impressions.Locations unknown. Any help much appreciated! TY

Hello, I just found this forum a couple days ago and have been reading it every moment that I have not been working. I have one question that I can’t seem to find any info on anywhere online even though it’s a very basic beginner question. So... how do you select rocks to try to split open? I know to look for certain types of rock like limestone and shale but when looking over a pile of dozens of suitable rocks but none have anything obvious in them do you just start splitting at random and hope to win the lottery? Or is there certain indications that you look for that say that there may be a fossil deep inside this rock? 2nd question, If possible could somebody give me a basic rundown of what’s going on in this forum, I apologize if I’m posting this in the wrong place or if my atrocious spelling and grammar is a problem but if anyone could give me a little time and set me straight I would greatly appreciate it.
