I’m struggling to identify this. The closest I’ve found is possibly a fossilized crayfish gastrolith. But I could be way off. I’m very new to fossil ID. I do find a lot of marine life fossils in my area. I had thought perhaps brachiopod, but it looks nothing like my other one. I’ve included a photo of the unidentified piece along side my brachiopod so if I have misidentified it please correct me. Thanks in advance. Details: Northeast Arkansas Mississippi Alluvial plain Along the Eastern edge of Crowley’s Ridge I’m 93% certain the material is quartz (chert)

I keep finding samples of this rock - which I believe is quartzite because it's hard and crystaline (always fractures along facets) My guess is that the rock was sedimentary to begin with. Many samples I find have back spherical things in them about 1 cm in size. There is some small indication of radial spikes and some appear to have a halo around the perimeter. If they are fossils and not simply geological they might be Ediacaran. These are being found along the shore of the British Columbia mainland north of Vancouver.IMG_0968.CR2 of British Columbia mainland just north of Vancouver, B.C.

Hello, in 2021, my kids and I were hunting fossil fragments in the rock piles arranged as landscaping alongside a store. Rock landscaping location: Arlington, Texas, USA. Of course we have no idea where the piles of rock originally come from. While hunting, we came across this spherical piece, which looks like a compressed, fossilized, cracked egg to us. Since we've found pieces of Ammonites before, it didn't seem unreasonable to find something else. Can anyone identify if it is natural mineral or fossilized egg? Thank you.

Need help identifying a group of spherical fossils | Solved : Iron Concretion
Alexander D.G posted a topic in Fossil ID
I found this one at the Jurassic Coast along side some other fossils. The fossil is about 2.5 cm wide and is heavier than it looks (tried a magnet but it had no effect on it). The second picture is a close up of a crack at the side (top right on the first picture), from what i could make out it looked like pyrite which is most likely becuase i also found a pyritised ammonite on the same beach. Any help would be greatly appreciated! -
Hi, I have been finding these round stones and thought that they were small concretions. Then I found one that was more oval in shape, just wanted to get a second opinion. The first picture is of the round one and the second one is the one that really seems out of place. Is this shape normal for concretions, I have seen them on the internet shaped like peanuts. I really don't know a lot about it, just what I have googled in the past few days, any info would be greatly appreciated and fun, thanks so much.
