Last Saturday I had the pleasure of going on an ESCONI trip to a giant shale pile in Danville, IL in search of Pennsylvanian fossils. I was fortunate enough to find a beautiful Trigonocarpus seed. (I included it for comparison to specimen 3). Second specimen seems to be another seed I can’t quite identify. After some research, I’ve come up with basically nothing. It’s textured, and has the shape of a teardrop. (Below) As for number 3, I actually just noticed it today while going through some of my finds. I don’t know if it’s wishful thinking, but it looks kinda similar to my Trigonocarpus seed, but with more ribs. I was thinking possibly Holcospermum because of how ribbed it is? Unfortunately it’s a little hard to see as not much of it is exposed. Could just be nothing, but I thought it looked peculiar. (Below)

I thought this was a piece of concrete, but something told me not to throw it away. On one side it looks like triganocarpus may have fallen out of it and the other is an unknown (to me) object. My question is.....is it possible that this object is a piece of bone? I have never found any bone in my area.
