Trying to locate Green River unprepared Priscacaras for newbie prep practice.

Hi all- Would anyone be able to advise on where I might get unprepared Priscacara (tails at least) fossils for practice. Thanks so much for your help. K -
Good evening! I have so enjoyed reading all your posts on the fossil ID over the past month. It is fascinating to witness the knowledge and enthusiasm of your members! Tonight I’m sharing possible turtle shells my mother picked up in The Wind River basin near Riverton Wyoming. I think this area is Cenozoic. It has a lot sandstone but she recalls these were just laying on the ground among other normal rocks. We have many pieces but I am just sharing a few representative items here. I’d love to know anything more about them. Are they possibly turtle? Any guesses as

Hello, all, Thank you for clicking into this thread and looking at the below images. I found them over the last few years, but I just realized recently that the two on the left were more similar than the one on the right. (Are they shark teeth?

If you need more angles or different pictures, I am happy to oblige. I very much appreciate any feedback. Thank you!

What should I do next? I read online that a phosphate treatment may replace the escaping sulfur and stop the oxidation and that a recommended field treatment would be common fertilizer. How -
Hello. I am new around here so I hope this is the place to put this. I am looking for ways to ID everything that we have gathered on a state field trip for my son's 4-H project. I have the booklet that one of the state project leaders put together that lists what is supposed to be found where but that is all. It does have some pictures in the back but they are mostly line drawing type pictures in black and white so they are are tell what stuff is. Kansas does have a website that they have some pictures on but some times it isn't the greatest to use. I also have so many questions that I am not
