Golf ball: For a diameter of 5 cm (a large one!) I get 65.4 cm3. 5 pounds = 2268 g. These give a density of 34.7 g/cm3 --> impossible! @JennieGlazier, would you like to give us measured diameter and measured weight? Thank you! Franz Bernhard

Are any of the following fake?

I agree with @rocket, no fakes, I would be a bit carefull with the more "straight" ones, because they could also end up as some sort of Crocodylian teeth. Nice teeth, when you plan on getting one, good luck ! -
7 pounds golf ball sized = lead.

Concretion, I think. Not seeing any real claw morphology, and no bone texture. Cropped and brightened:

Last week I posted the first of the brood 19 periodical cicadas that have emerged. Since then, I've only seen a half dozen a day while walking the dogs around the neighborhood. Last night around sunset I saw a newly emerged cicada crawling up a tree in my backyard. Within minutes there were a couple dozen more emerging from the ground and crawling up the trees. After a while I went to my front yard and was surprised to see around 30 on the front of my house. It was getting dark but as I stood there, I could hear others crawling through the grass.

I have seen that specimen. It is amazing. Texas Through Time is a cool little museum and Andre, the directer of the museum, is a great guy.

I could be wrong but it reminds me of a piece of civil war grapeshot. They were made out of various metals or stone and in assorted sizes and fired out of cannons like a giant shotgun shell….

9- Look mostly like blastoid internal molds. Possibly something like Globoblastus.

Great topis, could be added by other "digital technics" are Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) or Seismic Reflection to search the bigger ones there was a long an interesting discussion at Quora about this Can we use any technology to scan the underground to find fossils? - Quora

It’s Scapanorhynchus texanus.

I think this is the carapace, not the underside.

Not really sure what this is but it resembles a dinosaur claw to me. This was found in a creek bank in New Jersey. Whatever it is, I'm sure its been on this earth longer than I have. My dog chewed it but i was able to get it away from him.

It certainly is an extremely interesting looking sample. I've been collecting fossils and minerals for over 30 years now and have never seen anything quite like it. Have you considered the possibility that it might be something man made? It may also be some kind of artifact. If no one else can come up with any more ideas, I would suggest you take it to your nearest natural history museum or university geology department and show it to the resident geologist/mineralogist/archaeologist for their opinion.

Looks sorta like a trilobite pygidium, but when looking closer, the grooves appear to have been carved.
