Hello, I’ve been to happisburgh beach today and I’ve possibly found a few fossils but I’m also pretty clueless. Would love some help. thank you

Sorry but I am not geologist or have any background on fossils. I am an iNaturalist user, and a friend sent me some photos taken in a NW Spain beach asking me if it was a fossil. So I searched iNaturalist and found a topic which mentioned this was a good place to ask for fossil identifications. So here are the photos he sent me. The place is now covered by sand this year so I guess he cannot take close ups right now (just in case you ask). The 1 euro reference coin diameter is 23.25 mm (according to wikipedia). There is a "snake shaped" mark in the rock, next to the coin in 1st image. But to its left I also see an odd "olympics flag" shape with 5 circles, in the 2nd image. There are also some photos of the context place where the rock (marked with a piece of wood) is found. Thanks a lot in advance for any help.

Found in a creek in Floyd County Kentucky. Area is Pennsylvanian (according to the university of Kentucky website the area may also have a very small mix of Cretaceous, Tertiary and Quaternary). I'm wondering if this is a fossil, like an impression of a seed or something, or if this is just a weird rock. Thanks in advance.

So I'm looking for any information on this beauty. It is part of my late husbands collection. Info: Location: Unsure but I'm guessing Texas because my husband never traveled outside of Texas. Colors: white/grey black Gold/copper (solid) Gold (semi-translucent) Metallic silver Dimensions: (approximate, please see pictures) Smaller diameter- 2.5 cm Larger diameter- 5cm Height-4.25 cm Width-3.5 cm Length-4.5 Key details: It looks like a elephant foot to me. On the smaller circle (top) it looks like there is a smaller triangular-ish circle. There is a opaque goldish/copper color on several spots , they seem somewhat like veins. On the larger circle (bottom) there is a semi translucent goldish color. It seems iridescent when the light hits it. Thr metallic silver color is on different spots all over it but seems to mainly be where there is a nick on the rock. When dry it is a white/gray color but when wet it has a yellow/tan-ish color. It is not magnetic. It sparked while I was cleaning it. I have added many pictures. If there is any info I missed or any pictures of the rock you may need, please don't hesitate to let me know. Thank you all for any help you can give and any info about it.

Found this in Alaska along the Anchor River. Unsure if it is a fossilized anything? Almost looks like there are wing impressions on both sides of the narrow segments, which is about an inch long.

Hi! Could someone help me identify this fossil on a stone found on the shore of Lake Erie, Ohio? Forgot to picture it next to a coin but the rock is about the size of a nickel. First picture is one side, second picture is the other side, same stone.

Hi, I found a unique sort of rock containing several fossils, some sort of protrusion and it is two toned. A bit of some type of crystal is also present Please see pics. I was hoping someone could tell me a bit about the type of fossils, what the two tone exterior is about and what the protrusion is. Kinda cool. Thanks for your time.

Hey fossil people... more specifically hey Arizona fossil people. I'm wondering if any of you have run across fossilized horn coral in this state? If you have, tell me about it. I'd love to see examples of what you've found. I"ve found lots of brachiopods and other marine life in Arizona but this is the first time I've found horn coral. The idea that Arizona used to be underwater is fascinating to me. Theyre not the prettiest specimens... but i found them and they're mine! Lol. For those wondering, I found these near Payson Arizona. Same place I've found byrozoans, brachiopods, and crinoids.

Hello everybody! Found that near kids sandbox in Prague, Czech Republic, in the city center. Sand and rocks from there are probably brought from some other area. But in this park, only few hundred meters from there some Trilobite fossils can be found. It was just laying on the ground. I think it can be a rock, but its very tooth looking rock. I am no expert in those things. It seems like there is a root. It's exactly 2cm from top to bottom. I can't find any shark tooth looking like that. Other animal? I tried my best in making those photos. But if you need some more details, I ll try. Let me know. I hope it will be fun for you to check it out. Thank you!
