Hi! Looking for help with IDs & also What is this type of fossil called (counter-impression? cast?). Specimen from Crane Hill, Alabama. Thanks for looking Pics 1-plate overview- several potential invertebrates? 2- Potential invertebrate? Some of my newbie guesses: Trilobite (side view) Eurypterid- can’t find definitive info about if locale only had the giant type Crinoid (eg saggital view) Bryzoan Gooseneck barnacle- not sure when these appeared 3- same critter, different angle 4-other invertebrates? 5-stellate shaped imprint? 6-another area of plate showing black ‘spots’ 7-black ‘spots’ look angular, maybe cubic) on high power. No idea if or how this helps, but I wanted to see if it was mold (seems less likely). Included pic for fun (apologies for the quality).

Ok guys! Have taken your advice, stopped looking for bones and focused on sea related shapes, found this guy yesterday, looks like it might be animal rather than plant? Help please! Have a SMALL Bic lighter for scale.

Hello fellow humans so, my friend has asked me to try to identify her late husbands collection and i am trying to do my research online about identification, and forgeries etc.. As he had a huge collection of books, taxidermy insects and these fossils, i am hoping that he would have purchased with scrutiny.. but who knows.. anyhow, im trying to identify these.. im not so aware of the different types of tribolites and if any are more rare than others.. also with the keichousaurus if tis real or not.. it seems to me like the digits may have been highlighted with paint, or maybe i have a bad eye, but i know thats a sign of forgery... but have also seen repots of genuine that have been touched up so to speak.... i haven't cleaned, scratched or changed anything since i got them.. i understand that it may be a lot of effort to help me out, besides being someones passion i have created a google photo album of all of the photos https://photos.app.goo.gl/yTbjFyGpTmr8BNix6 many thanks Daithi Dublin, Ireland
