Fossils? Or Rocks?

Hi!! I'm Kimi, just a girl who loves ALL things Nature. I'm especially drawn to rocks/ fossils, plants, and insects. Sometimes I think the rocks and fossils are even drawn to me! With gratitude and reverence, I can also say that most plants are dear Allies to me, and always show me great patience as I continue to learn and grow.🌱

 

That being said, Nature continuously offers us new opportunities to learn and grow, no matter where we are on our journey. Although my son will tell you this about me, "she always THINKS she found a fossil", he is never convinced. Me, being a novice to fossils, would love to better my understanding of these ancient treasures. So, without further ado, here are the first four finds that I am curious about......🥁

 

I know the one is definitely an ocean type fossil, just not sure what, but are the other three just cool rocks? Idk....

 

I reside in Arizona now (Michigan native), which is where these were found, AZ. I find rocks all over the state, but the main places would be locally (around the valley), Superstition area, Tucson area, Stafford, Christopher Creek, Sedona, and Flagstaff. There are so many more that I have questions about too, but maybe by posting a few at a time, I can begin to discern for myself which ones have potential. At least that is my aspiration. 

 

Thanks friends! I appreciate you♡

Welcome to the forum, Kimi. :) 

Well, you will be able to tell your son that you have indeed found some fossils. One of them I can discern as a coral. I'll let our fellow Arizonians weigh in on these finds.

I see some petrified wood in there s well.

 

Hello and welcome.  To make discussions like this easier.... caa you edit your post and put a number on each specimen (just in the text before each photo) so we can say thing like "No, 3 is petrified wood".
