Hi everyone, I’m a total amateur but love looking for fossils and have a keen eye (, I’ve done a lot of collecting and have been laughed at by my friends and family for what I believe are some amazing finds! hopefully I can get some validation or advice on what I have found and a lot of tips on prep work etc. I am prepared for criticism so please don’t hold back and just hope these aren’t all plain old rocks!! first topic and a big one! can anyone explain to me in layman’s terms why some fossils seem to be bonded/formed around iron rich metallic objects (nails, bolts, screws) or if I’m totally wrong about that? here are some pics of the fossils with the above mentioned characteristics and my conclusions on identity. Thanks in advance Turtle remains/ vertebrae? A piece of dorsal vertebrae?

Article on pyritized trilobites of Beecher's beds. Worth looking at the pictures even if you don't read the article. The best picture is of a non-trilobite arthropod. https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/pyrite-trilobites-upstate-new-york
