I took my 8 yr old nephew to NSR, North Sulfer River today and found a few things but could not ID these. Any help would be awesome

Sorry, but I think this is an example of weathering. Hydration and oxidation being primary actors in the scene.

Welcome to the Forum. :)

 

Unfortunately,  I am not seeing a fossil in this piece.

Sounds good guys thank y'all. Like I said I'm new to this. We did find a nice baculite, an oyster, and some petrified wood. We only got to spend an hour out there but it was a blast.

Glad you enjoyed it! I have to drive 5 hours to enjoy NSR, so a bit hot this time of year. 

 

There's talk about local government project turning that portion of the river into a lake, so enjoy it while it lasts...

It could be close to a " Crocodile skin " concretion (with iron content), in my opinion. :)

I really hope they don't turn it into a Lake. There aren't very many public places that amateurs can go hunt and keep what they find.
