Will probably also post in r/RockID. Not sure what this is - the shape and size is very oyster shell but the material and colour are very rock.

Found at Wreck Beach.

What should I take better pictures of for value?

I posted on here a few times now I just started working for an estate sale company. All this was found in disarray packed away. Other stuff was well taken care of. I just need some help focusing on the important stuff to help the original owner who is in need. Obviously there is petrified wood and megalodon teeth. But I don't know where to focus my energy as we only have a few days to help him out and this is just a very very small fraction of the items in the home. There a 1,000 other things that need to be researched. Any help is greatly appreciated. And just a heads up this doesn't help me at all. I do this part time for chump change and I'm not even getting paid to take the time to do this. This will ultimately help the person who hired the company the most as I said he's in need.

Some sort of large-ish vertebra found in a river bed in Upstate NY, i assumed it’s a fish of some sorts such as a sturgeon but im not too sure. It’s about the size of my palm, slightly shorter. I don’t have any other photos as of now but i may be able to get some different angles.

Found this over the weekend in Charleston,SC. Found in a deposit with several mako teeth.

It is 100% fossilized bone as it has the structure. It seems very likely it’s a sperm whale tooth but just want confirmation.

I was fossil hunting in old mine waste dump. The rocks are carboniferous. This one was on a slope near a bicycle path and tramway. Oddly really smooth from both sides.

I always thought it was some kind of coral but it looks like there's something inside it.

I found what I believe to be petrified wood but the pattern along the top in the second picture is different enough to give me pause- would love some second opinions!

Hi, I found this when sifting in the sand for tiny pebbles at a beach in Delaware, USA. It’s about 1 1.7 cm long and 1 cm wide (at the widest point). Let me know if you need any other info to make an ID. Thanks!

Is this a belemnite in a brick? I hope it is because if it is then it's the biggest one I've ever found.

I should add that it's 52mm end-to-end.

Ancient bottlecap, or fossil?

I found this on my trip in Norway and I think it is a fossil.

One side is flat and has these lines that go inwards to the middle.

The other side is not flat and the edge is raised above the middle.

AI says its coral, but AI is AI and I am not taking their word for it.

Much appreciated!
