That's a loose bivalve shell trapped in the crevice of the rock. With a flashlight and magnifying glass you can see the ridges of the shell across the top of the void

Baculite I think? Long strait nautiloid shell purchased these. Found 99.9% of the rest.

Hardened to something akin to marble this rock is full of small bivalve clam shells. Thinking of carving the stone with diamond bits

Love this stuff but it is so rare in my location. Very hard to find these. So worth it when I do.

Amazing preservation of details in these small shell fragments

Impossible to capture with phone camera you can see individual cells in that grey mass under a microscope

Fossil coral

Small purchased fish fossil

Bivalve and a Petoskey stone next to a nautilite (baculite?)

Actually the center chamber of a nautilus fossil

I'm not sure what that was.... Not the best picture sorry

Baculite fossil

Nice markings

Purchased ammanites

Coral I think

Fossil armor plates from an ankleyosuar I think

Nice baculite I believe

Ammanites in comparison with a modern day nautilus fragment

More wood

I think these are horn coral and possibly a sea urchin

A very nice chain coral I polished by hand

Sand dollar fossils, petrified wood and the rare fragment of fossilized bone I've found myself

I think this is a very well preserved fossil sponge

Fossil bi alive with the actual mother of pearl still intact!

#3 used to be called Orthoceras, but that genus got split up several years back in a taxonomic revision. Looks like Moroccan material.

Cool that's something I definitely didn't know. I knew it was a type of strait shelled nautiloid. But that's about all. Got this piece at
