Indiana Creekside find

Good afternoon! My 6yo daughter found this alongside a central Indiana creek we were hiking yesterday where we frequently see Beaver and Deer. However this looked more like a claw to us than an incisor! Any ideas what she’s found here?

Found this in River Sheaf in Sheffield, UK - plant fossil?

It's a little waterworn but this rock has what looks like a stem on the inside and the outside is covered in these little dimples which show up better when it's wet.

I’m pretty sure it’s a whale tooth. Would love if anyone could ID more definitively.

Fossil found in Canyon Lake, Tx

Brought our boat to shore near an Air BnB, I looked down and found this! Soaked in some water with a little soap and scrubbed with a soft bristled toothbrush,

I’m not familiar with fossils at all, but I think this is a really great find!

Turtle shell?

I found this on the beach this morning (Myrtle). I think it’s a turtle shell fossil. My wife says it’s a piece of plastic… any help with identification would be appreciated!

Fossil of Gavdos

Hello,

Can you identify this fossil? I found a photo of it taken on the island of Gavdos in Greece. I only have one photo. The fossil is no more than 10 cm long. The rock formation where it was found dates to the Upper Miocene (Serravallian–Tortonian), consisting of clayey sediments and reef limestones, as well as marls and turbiditic sands.

Is it a mammoth tooth fragment or just a cool rock?

Gemini is convinced it’s a mammoth tooth fragment while Claude is standing by its geological decision. A scratch test shown in one image shows the porous layer is easily scratched with steel (circled in red) while the gray layer is not. This was left in the backyard when I got the house (Oklahoma).

Possible xenacanthus/ dicotrodus tooth? Southcentral, IA

Just found this earlier in a conglomerate layer where ive also found a shark tooth( #6 pic) before. Im pretty darn certain its a tooth but I just can't prove it lol. It looks like from what I can find I am located around early Pennsylvanian bedrock( or however you say that) any help would be appreciated, thanks!
