Is this a theropod claw? Also, is this from Niger, rare? Please tell me. Thanks in advance.

I like fossils, mostly sharkteeth. I come here to learn more about fossilized sharkteeth and to improve my general knowledge of other fossils

Ok I have discovered an area of a square mile, is literally full with fossils. Any local paleontologists or researchers should contact me. Just today o gathered 5-6 pieces in just 20 minutes. The following is brown/orangish body with elevated dark green/grayish areas at some place as veins originating from what appears to be a fraction of some previous enclosing or shell if u ike, only i think it is more than a shell. photos probably wont hava u sure, and i dont know when i can create better ones but if u read the following you can form an opinion, because it looks like it is very promising. The object is 15cmx10cm x 5cm height. Surface is rough, porous and it appears to be merged or even made of:.. thousands of little fossils of amazing shapes and coloues. There are also many fossils made of metal like silver and gold colored ones. they are very nice to look at. ! At a point on the "encasing" part (photo 2) there are some yellow formations they look like tiny crystal corals and sponges in their material and like big corals, sea horses or something in ther overtal appearance.. The encasing side, (it has 6 sides overall) was in the earth and the whole thing seemed to be a red ammonite popping out of the earth. I mean all those fossils there, and ok there are the dominant material in most things there so other than they are made out of some sort of puyrite or gold or crystal or silver, their varuety CAN be found all over the place. Is is possible there is something more inside? Should I crack open? Is there anything inside like an ammonite or a huge urchin, or a plant some weird kind of life ?
