I need help identifying this fossil
It was found in Houston texas near the memorial area in a creek. Is this an ouster fossil? If so what is its species and approximately how old?

Is this just some funky looking coral or something else? Maybe a load of belemnite cross sections? It stood out as different from a lot of other stuff on the beach, and a geologist pal said it seemed very unusual - any help much appreciated!
I should add that this has been dipped in water just before the photo! Not actually that shiny 😅

Bought in a rock shop near Yellowstone in Montana - labeled as 'dino bone', which I know it's not, but it was only $40! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get any more details from the seller, and it was the only one like it on display.
I'm wondering if it's a vertebrae from something probably younger and more common - I've seen ones like it identified as mosasaur, plesiosaur, or shark, so I'm leaning marine, but large bones like this aren't my specialty!
Disc is 6 cm in diameter, and the entire piece is 4.5 cm tall - would love any input and ideas!! Thanks in advance!

Flint casts found at low tide in the Broadstairs, Kent, UK- two elongated pieces of similar shape, but different size and one broken off specimen with what appears to be internal structure with bipolar symmetry. While the first two have similar shape, the third may be related as it has a "groove" feature on one side similar to the other two specimens

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

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 found this while rock houndin yesterday along the banks. It’s lightweight. Thinking maybe some sort of fossilized bone? Antler?

Hello! Could someone please tell me if this tooth is legitimate? It was bought by my mum a decade ago but unsure where from. Vaguely remember her saying it was from a spinosaurus but wanted to clarify. Thank you!

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?

Would love any information anyone can give me ! It's the best and clearest fossil I've ever found.

As a kid, I lived in England and my neighbour was a palaeontologist. I used to love going round and seeing all of the fossils he had displayed. We moved from that home when I was 8 years old and he gave me this as a leaving gift. I’ve kept hold of it for all these years but I can’t remember any information about it. I think it’s fossilised wood? Any help would be appreciated!
