All of these were found on gravel bars on Elm Creek in north-eastern Kansas, as we kayak on it a lot.

Most of these look like oyster fragments. The last picture is a brachiopod (Derbyia crassa maybe?) and more pictures of the ones on the paddle will help for those. It's hard to tell but the right two look like bone (not sure if fossilized) and the one on the left might just be weathered limestone.

The others are beaks of Myalina bivalves. Derbyia and Myalina are Pennsylvanian.

My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.

I am pretty sure these are claws, but I am not at all sure. The first one had a tip ,like the drawn lines indicate, but some jerk broke it off. Doesn’t down the shaft on the last one look like Fluking?
