Hey y'all! This is my first ID post, so please tell me what I should do/change for future posts <3 These are all fossils I have found in the North Sulphur River in the last two months. I'm only asking about a few in the picture because I know there's a lot and I figured I'd only focus on a few at a time <3 sorry y'all, didn't plan ahead very well. I have more pictures of all of them though if needed. 1) One (bottom middle) is ID'd (via Dallas Paleo Group on FB) possibly as coprolite or a 'jumble'?- looking for clarification as well as what the things inside the fossil might be, if possible? 2) I think another (the thick triangle whitish thing-top left) might be an oyster/shell thingy? Or a rock bahahaha xD This is the side view: 3) This one (bottom left) is a pain to get pictures of. My camera refuses to focus properly on it. He's very thin and ever so slightly 'pyramids' in the middle, as well as curves along one side a bit. I thought it might be a scute of some sort? Unsure. It's as dark as it looks in the last picture. Same color as the first. Camera did something funky. 4) And the last (top middle) for now is some weird black rock thing that may be nothing for all I know. Kinda makes me think of a claw in the way it's cupped and has blunt teeth along a ridge. Could be another shell thingy for all I know! It's very thick on one side and then becomes thinner as it reaches the ridged edge. Appreciate any and all help as well as any tips you can give me! I can post more pictures if necessary, just didn't want to overload the post more than I already have. Thank you in advance <3

This bone is highly mineralized, and when the crystal planes are at the right angle, the bone will flash at you.-

Identification: Mosasaur teeth can be difficult to assign to a species. However, given the size of the tooth, it must be from T. proriger - the only Mosasaur in the formation large enough to produce this tooth. Notes: Shows feeding wear (pictured) with mostly complete enamel. Uncommon find for this formation/locality. Identifiers: This identification is supported by Michael J. Polcyn (researcher specializing in the evolution of Mosasaurs) of Southern Methodist University, Dallas, TX, USA.

First Fossil Hunting Trip I decided to take the family on our first fossil hunting trip today and we had a great time exploring. I'm new to this forum and also new to fossil hunting. We didn't exactly know what we were looking for, but I came across this interesting piece. Does anyone happen to know what this is? To me, this looks like a tooth, but have no clue if I am right or not. Thanks in advance!

Here are a few pictures from another recent trip to NSR. Nothing special again but also a few interesting items I have no idea that they are. Anyone know what some of these pictures are of?
