Hi everyone!  I fossil hunt at Onslow quite a bit and have found a few things in the last couple weeks that I was curious about.  The circle thing with a hole stumped a Facebook group I’m in.  I did hold it up to a light and it is not see through so I’m assuming not glass.  Thanks for any help as always!

the first maybe a piece of tooth but it is so water worn that beyond that I will not go.  the second I believe is a piece of a long bone, possibly distal end of a small (bird?) femur   the third I have heard called either indian bead or a piece of shrimp or worm burrow.  there are some really nice fossil clubs in NC that you may want to look into, they have group outings, and will have some people that are absolutely familar with the local fossils

It looks like an extremely worn shark centrum.

I agree with Eric that the "circle thing" looks like an extremely worn shark centrum.
