5-Tylostoma.

Abou this, I just know it came from a sand extraction, so (analyzing the geology of the region), the animal lived between Cretaceous period and Quaternary era.

I forgot to say that Tylostoma came from Alcanede.

Sorry, my bad...Ansiocardia clarissima.

Thanks for help, but it's not definetely a coprolite, but a bivalve wich I'm not sure about ID.

Hi. Here's my 2 cents.

1. Coral is correct. Perhaps Thecosmilia. Upper Jurassic?

2. Correct.

3. Correct.

4. What you mean is Anisocardia. That may be right, but you would need to expose the hinges to be certain. Finding the species is difficult. I would leave it at A. sp.

5. Sorry, I can't help you further there since I'm not familiar with the fauna from this age. It would however be extremely difficult to get the id past the generic name since it's a mold with no external features, so you can only base the id on the form.
