I've got a lot of work to do on looking up Conchs, which I think a majority of my items might be. However, what in the world is this? Because of my great-grandfather's travels, I'm assuming this is from somewhere in South America coasts. It is hard, and doesn't seem to flake easily. Could it be a dried sponge or coral of some kind? Worms? I must admit the closer focus I get, the more confused I am. Could this be a tube worm cluster?

We found this specimen (there was another one next to it with slightly smaller diameter) at Bolinas, California. Too many kids playing nearby and one of them took the other specimen and it was tough to collect with care. Going back to dig for more and asking for the second specimen, once we do I will share a more complete photo. For now, can anyone shed some light please.

Hi, NW Arkansas again. I thought this was unusual. I usually have trace fossils but this caught my eye and I would love your opinion. I really have no idea on this one, Thanks again.

I was hiking in Utah and found these. I think they are corals.

I bought this in a market in Chiapas, Mexico. They told me that it was from San Juan Cancuc, Chiapas, Mexico and it was found underwater. I have no other info. I have noticed some line marks inside the tube.

Help with ID on small tube-like fossils or geological items from creek
mossyfern9564 posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi all, I hope someone can help me ID these items I've been finding for about a year now in and by a local creek in Sullivan County, TN. I've shown them to staff at the Nature Center of a nearby park and to various others who have an interest in such things, and no one has been able to say for sure what they are. I've had theories from corals to beads to stalactites (helictites, actually) to burrow casts. All are tube-like, all have holes through them (a few have one end closed, but not many) some have a bumpy, pebbly surface and some are smooth. The biggest is 1 1/2 to 2 inches in length. The area is known for Ordovician finds, and has a lot of caves and sinkholes. I also find a lot of quartz crystals and small (< 1") geode-type rocks in this creek, and the occasional Woodland period artifact. There is an abundance of chert/flint, and unfinished knapped pieces aren't uncommon. I'm anxious to hear your theories and ideas. Thanks much.

Have been unable to identify. Found near Seattle, WA in a residential area so is possible it's non-native. Thinking this is a plant due to the inner patterns? Or could it be burrows? There are so many on this rock! Thank you for any help pointing me in the right direction.
