Hello, I'm new to here and I have a few questions about something I found at least 15 years ago. I found it in middle America, if memory serves, in a rock garden outside of a building somewhere. It seems to be sediment of the inside of an oyster or a mussel? I don't have an eye for this. In any case, I've taken a few photos of it showing it's shape and size. There is mother of pearl still stuck to it as well as what I believe to be it's old muscle or flesh of some kind that's been fossilized, excuse me if my terminology isn't correct. It's pinkish(colorblind) and is fibrous and what I believe might be a small amethyst stuck in the sediment. My questions are, what is it and if it's possible that there's something in the sediment. Like a pearl or something. I'd rather not break it open in case there isn't anything. I figured that people who are more interested and more knowledgeable than I am could know something about it or lead me to someone who might. Thank you and I appreciate your time! :)

I think I’ve posted before in the wrong area…hoping this is reaching y’all: found this in Bexar County San Antonio, Texas in my neighborhood which is new construction. In this area I’ve found a lot of petrified trees and other types of possible water creatures. I’ll attach those pics since I may have posted them in the wrong discussion area.. this looks like a shell of some sort and has beautiful little crystals in the ‘valleys’ of the sunburst pattern..

These are mysterious to me...presumably younger than the local Ordovician rock. I don't know if they are perhaps Devonian. Unfamiliar. The original source was under the QEW highway in Oakville, Ontario. I was lucky to discover the same type of rocks used for a promenade in front of some luxury residences. There are corals, brachiopods, bivalves, trilobites, and various colony creatures. Little Freddy the parrotlet advised on photography issues.

Two species from the Yorktown Formation along the James River in Virginia that I cannot identify. One a coral (if not genus name, family?) and the other what I presume to be part of a bivalve. Both are very common yet I cannot find them in any references. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
