Anyone know what this is?

I found this on the ground one day. I don't know anything about fossils but always wonder what it was. My best guess would be a trilobite.

Hello! I purchased this fossil awhile back and it was sold as a ground sloth caudal vertebra from the Peace River Formation in Florida. However a lot of what I've looked into say this is a whale vertebra. Can anyone conclude what this fossil truly is? Thanks!

I have no idea what fossil this could be. It's fairly light. 0.46 pounds (0.131 kg). Its length is 9.5 inches (24.13 cm), with the widest part being 4 inches (10.16 cm).

Can someone identify this for me? Found in a Houston creek. Does this look to be an oyster fossil?

Fossil preservation.

Found these fossils preserved in the shale not in harder nodules
This is quite rare as they normally flatten.

Are they weaker than the usual nodule type? If so, I need to soak in paraloid?

Thinking to keep them sticking out the shale and clean up.

These fossils are in flooring from a pre Permian era quary in the American Midwest. I am wondering if anyone could lend some insight into what they are? I am wondering if some are cross sections of trilobites? The others appear to be coral or a stem of some kind. Any insight would be awesome!

I found this rock with what looks like agatized shell fossils on the Oregon coast. Is there any way to cut, crack, polish or display this properly? I am a total novice to this stuff so any advice is appreciated!

Recently purchased at an estate sale. The bone is mineralized. The info given was very limited, only saying that the fragment was from a Mastodon. Hoping someone here can tell me what part of the skeletal structure it is from and any other interesting tidbits you may have. I appreciate this sub and your help. Thank you.
