Found this in Myrtle Beach. Thought this was a rock at first, but resembled too much like a tooth. Also, I unfortunately don’t have a tape measure or scale with me.

I’m making a trip down the coastline of North and South Carolina; from Topsail Beach to Charleston. I know there sites in Charleston for basilosaurus fossils, but I’m curious if anyone knew hidden gems of the Carolina coastline

Found this in likely Oligocene sediments. V-shaped in cross-section, about 7 "teeth" per side, tapered to one end, 2mm long. A jaw? A tiny claw? A piece of fishy bone?

This was found on south Myrtle Beach a few days ago. It looks like part of a spine to me but I have no idea what species it may be from. Is there enough bone to make an identification?

This was found on South Myrtle Beach in South Carolina. Most of the piece is worn but there are some smooth surfaces. The shape is irregular. Is this a worn fossil or a weird rock?

This was found recently on South Myrtle Beach in South Carolina. It looks like a bone but the curvature is more pronounced than what we usually find. It also has one end with more of a point. Any insight appreciated
-
I picked this up on the beach yesterday. It is heavy and has some characteristics of bone but internal structure is more rock-like. Would love help with identifying.

I am new to Fossil Forum, and want to test a few initial ID posts to see if I am including the right info and capturing sufficiently-clear photos. Here are two fossils, both of which I think may be (toothed whale?) vertebra. They come from an estate collection I acquired last year, all contents of which were unidentified but labeled as coming from Edisto Beach, SC on dates ranging from the late 1970s through the early 1990s.

I am learning how to spot steinkerns, and I believe that all of these are examples. The first set of three would be gastropods, I think, and the set of two smaller ones are possibly phosphatic steinkerns of coral. I am not certain. [These come from an estate collection I acquired last year, all unidentified but labeled as coming from Edisto Beach, SC on dates ranging from the late 1970s through the early 1990s.]
