Hi I need help identifying/confirming some fossils found in Greene county Missouri here are a few. A grub in volcanic glass, a walnut, and a seed beginning to sprout. Could anyone tell me anything about them? I also have some others I need identified. Sorry, I do not have an international ruler. Grub is a half inch long

Apologies in advance for the large/unorganized pictures. I think it might be a walnut seed, but I'm not completely sure. I'm no expert on modern plants, let alone ones old enough to fossilize. It was found in the late 1980s/early 1990s. As a kid, I stumbled across it in a riverbed in Needmore, IN (USA). Mainly I wanted to post it as I'm guessing it is unusual to have half a fossilized seed that includes what I think is the nut part of the seed. This fossil was found in this condition (it wasn't cut open as far as I know). I'm guessing the green coloration in the interior is due to some sort of algae from the riverbed - I've never tried to clean it out (and probably never will).

Found this a few weeks ago in the Walnut Formation (Texas Cretaceous) in a spot where I know belemnites have been found. It looked remarkably like the belemnites I found in England (Jurassic) because of the shallow recess and the shape, but this has these weird teardrops. I dismissed it initially , thinking it was too light for a fossil, plus, these teardrops kind of make it look more like just a woody plant something or other. So then I dropped it and it broke. Looked at it under the microscope and it is for sure not a woody plant something! It is crystalized inside so maybe that is why it is lighter than a "regular" fossil. Any help with positively ID'ing this as belemnite or not would be appreciated! @erose @Uncle Siphuncle It is 1 1/2 inches long One of the belemnites from England:

I thought this was just a rock but I saw in a book this could be a walnut. Any ideas?

Hello all! I recently found a new spot that turns out is Walnut Formation. Finding lots of nice stuff there...big Echinoids - Phymosomas, a Tetragrmma and some little Leptosalenia mexicanas. But I've found a few things that I can't ID. @erose - I relooked at the presentation on Albian crabs you did for the PSoA last month and thought this one was in there, but now I don't see it? I thought you had collected one like this.. Thanks for any help, y'all! This little Bivalve looks like a Plicatula but those are not found in the Walnut? (According to the Houston Gem and Mineral Society Bivalve Book) And this other bivalve - closest I can come up with is Lopha, but again, not listed in the Walnut

I found this what I think to be a fossilized hickory nut that was partially eaten by some animal. I found it in northern Kentucky a couple miles from the Ohio river. If someone could help me out that would be great.
