I found this on Ocean Beach in SF. It looks like an echidnoid to my uneducated eyes, but there may also be something else. Any help appreciated-thanks.

Does anyone know of a resource/person for prepping an articulated, out of the matrix ceratopsian? Skull intact. Near complete animal about 3.5 ft long. Looking for someone with experience. I'm in the San Francisco area - North Bay (Marin,Sonoma). Thanks!

Hello new member here, my name is Robert! I found this site while searching google in an attempt to identify some beautiful items I came across recently while at the beach in san francisco. I understand most of you guys refer to yourself as amateurs, though reading a few forum topics before creating my account I was impressed with the amount of detailed information in regards to your studies and findings. That being said I must admit I am %110 amateur in my knowledge of fossils, different time periods, etc. So please forgive me if I seem to ask simple questions like I don't know what I am talking about, I am still learning. WELL, in regards to the piece I am hoping to learn about (please see attached image). I recently found it while I was at the beach in San Francisco area. It measures 2 and 3/4 inches wide, 2 inches tall, with a shallow depth of a 1/4 inch. My main question is...WHAT is it!? I've seen many sand dollar fossils, coral rock fossils, clam fossils recently on the beaches here, but I've only seen one like this. The milky white crescent shaped object that is offset to the right of the center of the stone, looks like a tiny shrimp or something (again , please forgive my lack of knowledge). Also, the only thing I can relate the slightly irridecesent dark blue-ish streaks to are the inside of some of the mussel shells that I see on the beaches here, so maybe it is in relation to that...? Again, I have no idea but I do speculate much as I've recently grew heavy in interest on the subject and those alike. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone has some pointers on or can possibly identify this, what I believe to be, fossil stone of some sort. I have many photos of all the beautiful items I've recently collected, and needless to say, so many questions I wish to ask you all in regards to them. I am planning to post detailed images of them all in the My collections section but for some reason most of my pictures on my phone exceed the "Max total size of 3.95MB" in the image upload section so I am going to try and take some different pics that are "uploadable". I would be more than happy to take new pics or zoom in closer on any specific area(s), if needed or necessary. Thank you all for your time

Hello, SF Bay Area native here, totally new to this forum and to collecting anything other than rocks found on the beach. On one excursion just after a stormy high tide on a private access beach south of Pomponio, I came across these two cetacean(?) fossils(?) washed ashore, each of which weigh ~5+ lbs. Any further info anybody could offer would be great!
