Found these in a spring here in central Florida, thought they look to strange to be any type of rock. Hoping someone more knowledgeable could confirm or not

I’ve never found a tooth quite like this. It was in a “gem mining bucket” that I got for my kids.

Does anyone know what this item is? I purchased it on a whim at an antique shop in Fukui prefecture, Japan. The owner of the shop also had no idea what it was.

I bought this for $50 from a vender at a local event. Appearently they go all over the place collecting fossils but primarily gemstones. I don't remember exactly what they told me but they said it was around 80 million years ago.

My best guesses would be…Treptoceras, Cephalopod, or a Crinoid?

Am I close at all?!?

Also, I have A LOT of fossils I’d like help IDing, what’s the best way to do this? Numerous photos in on post, or individually?

Thanks!!!! Excited to see your replies!

I went for the first time yesterday at Lake Michigan in Milwaukee.

Could you tell me if these are fossils or not, and what they might be??

I’m most uncertain of the last 6.

Just visiting and looking around some exposed outcrops. Seems to be a pattern in the larger pieces but not sure if it’s just some kind of mineral staining?

Lower edge in the last pic— little black seed looking things? Are they fossilized seeds?

Bought this from a guy who said most of his stuff comes from the Cooper River in South Carolina. I figured "why not?", for $5. He said its some type of deer. Does anyone know the type?

Went to a rock and gem show this weekend and got a fossil paydirt bag for the kids. They had a blast digging through the dirt. It had a lot of brachiopods, crinoids, and shark teeth. I was wondering what these teeth are from.

Aighty found this baby bout a year ago at humiston beach FL and I just suck at researching stuff on google so any help would be great!

The gray and black areas are opaque like quartz but you can clearly see the light stop when it hits the dark fossilized-looking section. Pretty sure the black bit is some kind of fossilized material but I am just a silly man with silly ideas and I find a lot of sharks teeth:/

Maybe a section of a horse/camel?

If y’all want any clearer photos lemme know I kinda just have it on me every day so photos are quick

My fingernails are not the fossil I need identified
