Help identifying - Southern CA beach

One side looks like a typical hag stone from here. The other looks like a very thick shimmery quartz type rock. In between is maybe fossilized coral or I’m not sure. Any help appreciated.

In today’s episode of weird beach finds……Whelk egg case (aka Mermaids Necklace), crab shell (not sure what kind), and someone’s perfect Pyramid - Long Island NY

Never have I everrrr come across these before! Whelk egg casings! Found a few washed up on this week’s trip to the beach. Also found the back of some sort of crab, and a perfect Pyramid that someone built….it was too great to not immortalize in photo 🥰

Found on the beach at Lincoln City Oregon, what it is?

Yesterday morning I went to Lincoln city beach around low tide and found a ton of things! The one thing I mainly wondering about is this? It looks like a bird beak but it’s pretty flat, maybe it’s a tooth of some kind? The tip is a bit darker and is really sharp like a tooth or a beak? The hole is throwing me off. Any ideas?

More finds from my farm pond dig

More interesting finds from a pond I’m digging on my farm. Everything came from a shell/sand layer between 5’ and 12’ deep. We’re about 10 miles from the coast. I’m not a shell guy but I just think it’s amazing that these shells are so well preserved after so long.

Booking a flight for glass floats

I'm over in Kodiak,AK and I want to so badly fly out to find glass floats. Sadly, here it's pretty rare to find one and if they are found, it's gatekept by the person who found them and won't tell you where. Can anyone point me in a location close to Kodiak that would be a better guarantee at finding them? The price for the flight is a little steep so I'd like to really narrow it down to make the price worth it

Shell or bone found in ocean near beach

I found this thing in shallow water in the ocean, near the beach on the Pacific side of Panama. It feels kinda dense and it’s a little yellowed. Can’t figure out if it’s a bone or a shell. Is it something cool?

What is this? [Faroe Islands]

I found this at a beach on the Faroe Islands. Didn't take it with me, just curious what it is. Google Lens says something about it being conjoined oyster shells. I don't know a better source for checking beach finds. Thanks :)

Fish carving or just a rock?

Me and my mom recently took a trip to Ireland and found this on a beach near Belfast. We are both convinced we see a fish carved into this rock, and it looks like the “tail” has been broken off and the material inside is a darker type of rock? Totally speculative, but I want to know if it’s worth keeping! Does anyone else see it or have any idea what this could be? Thanks!

Knife(?) handle found in rocks on Kauai South Shore

ID Help?

Hey all! I found these two teeth-looking pieces in SW Florida (Sanibel Island/ Fort Myers) this past week. Any info on what they could be from or are they just petrified coral or something else? The pointier one is 3/4 inch and the more stout one is 1/2 inch.
TYIA!

Glass + Glass Chicken (NY)

some good stuff today :) tried and failed to identify what I'm assuming is a 4.5in hen on nest. It's so whimsical
