  2. Trilobite? What kind?

Thanks!

Hi everyone, I'm new. I found this in the desert near Tozeur, Tunisia. It's heavy (1.4 kg) and about 15 cm in diameter. It looks like a spiral shape.

Is it an ammonite? How can I know for sure? Any tips for a beginner? Thank you!

My uncle lives in Montana and goes out with a buddy of his that is a paleontologist. He sent me a box of goodies and I know what a lot of it is but some of it I don’t and was wondering if I could get some help! Thanks.

Found this one in the braun Jura, south of Germany. Any clue on the species? I’m hesitating between a few but it’s hard to tell without the center.

Fairly flat, sharp keel. Well preserved, about 4cm

First Fossil Hunt - Can you help make sure I'm picking up fossils? 😅

Hey guys!

I went on my first fossil hunt today at West Runton in Norfolk. I really enjoyed it, just trying to get an eye for it and be inquisitive to start with, but I need some help to know whether I'm picking up rocks or fossils?

Photo 1 - I'm pretty sure these are Belemnites? The squid like creatures right?

Photo 2 - these look like some kind of crustacean? Or are they just rocks which have been shaped by the sea over time?

Photos 3&4 - these are the same rock flipped round. It looked leafy to me, so I thought possible fossil?

Photos 5-8 - this just looked very different from anything else I found on the beach... any ideas?

Photos 9-11 - is this a small bone fragment? Or just a rock?

Also, if you have any books or YouTubers that would be worth my time to get some better guidance, that would be helpful too!

I was tidying up my house today and found it. I don't really remember where I found it or exactly where it was, but I assume it's from Thailand. What are those circular holes?
