Hi there, I believe I found a brachiopod fossil (pedicle valve). I'm hoping for some help identifying it more specifically - family, genus, or species? It was buried a few feet deep on an eroding, sandy hillside about 30 meters above sea level. The hill is about 2 kilometers from an inlet around the Puget Sound region of Washington state (glacial till). Please see attached photos. It looks like there might be other shells fossilized within the cavity. Please let me know if you need more info/different angle photos. Thank you in advance for any help!

Raptor skulls? Permineralization? From meteor impact? Heavy as heck?

I just recently moved from the Mid-Atlantic to Seattle, and feeling a bit overwhelmed by the sheer variety of geological formations I've encountered around Puget Sound beaches and nearby mountain trails. My kids (4 and 6) are starting to show an interest in looking for rocks and fossils, so I'll probably be leaning on you guys to help us identify our finds (at least any that look potentially fossil-y). My previous major experience with fossil hunting was during college ~15 years ago in north Florida, when I used to screen gravel beds in local creeks with a friend of mine. We mostly found dugong ribs and sharks' teeth, with occasional other stuff, so my IDing skills will probably prove grossly insufficient around Puget Sound.
