How about a FOSSIL? Here's one! My mom brought me back a box of Dino Bone Chunks from Hanksville, Utah. This is my favorite because it is sliced, to see the cell structure, but also has a nice curve on the backside.  Size 4" x 4"

What a diverse and beautiful collection you have. 

[JamieLynn]

@Tidgy's Dad Thank you Sir! And all these micro fossils are making it grow rapidly.....fortunately, they are easy to store! hahahah

This is my long awaited Mosasaur Tooth! I have been trying to find one with no luck and a fellow Fossil Forum Member took pity on me and traded some Central Texas Echinoids for this AMAZING Tylosaurus tooth he found in the North Sulfur River. Sometimes you have to rely on the generosity of fellow fossil hunters! Thanks @Planko for one of my favorite fossils in my collection!! 

Size 2 inches

cuttlefish beak Belosaepia ungula    

I’m enjoying your photos and fossils. These are not beaks of the cuttlefish, but are the rear prong located at the end of the cuttle bone. Here’s an illustration from this site-https://lakeneosho.org/Belosaepia/index.html
