Two loose stones found near the Santa Fe Opera. Smaller pentagonal fossil about 3 to 4 mm. Larger more linear fossil 6 mm wide and 7 cm long.Now I’m looking forward to finding more. Any help on identification appreciated.

As I look at pic #2 It looks to me like a mineral vein, where some of the mineral has dissolved away. Not 100 percent sure though.

I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie.

Welcome to TFF!

Agree with crinoid for first picture.

On the other picture, the end is cut off. Can We see a picture that shows the whole piece?

I agree 2nd one definitely wood, you get minerals filling in the gaps that decay first. Very nice.
