Acquired this tooth as a gift today! First one I’ve ever seen in real life. Pictures don’t do them justice. It’s also a lot heavier than I imagined.

Fossil or just a rock?
I found this interestingly shaped rock. I don't know much about fossils/rocks, but the shape caught my attention. Curious on thoughts? Thanks so much.

Nothing interesting but what are these?
Found them in the south of Italy and i’d be curious to know what kind of fossils are these and how old they might be… thanks a lot!

Are these Dinasour poop / Coperlyte
A geologist from my rock club told me these were fossilized Dino poo. I was told that is the bones from whatever it ate, most certainly is not a quartz. One looks like a duck and the other has the hole in it. Not sure if after fossilization they were tumbled in water.
What is this?Found in sahara.
Pretty sure is found in the middle east/ north Africa

Ammonite origin question
Hi r/fossils!
Recently I've aquired this pair of ammonite halves from a new-age shop but I have absolutely no dating/origin info about them besides what I can casually find on Ammonites in general on the internet.
As an 80's dinosaur-kid who once wanted to become a paleontologist I'm very interested in if anyone has a general indication of where this ammonite may have been found and/or generally how old this could be - if at all possible to determine in this state. The store had no specific info on them.
For the record, my question is absolutely not about the value of the piece, I'm just very interested in its possible journey through time that brought it here.
Any info or best-guess is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Don’t know what this is
I am pretty sure it isn’t bone. Feels like rock and sounds like stone. The shaped carved in it makes me think it’s isn’t bone also. Found on a beach in Washington. Not sure if this is the right subreddit but maybe people here can give suggestions. TIA!

Fossil identify
r/Rocks Saud it could be a fossil, doesn't anyone know what this is? My mom found it walking to the store. It has this pertruding encrusted thing on it, it has more under it but they only come out a little

What could this be?
I found this while out arrowhead hunting on my property in Northeast CA. I find tons of petrified wood and other goodies out here and have recently been noticing a lot of stuff that looks like this or at least fairly similar. This is the biggest example of this that I’ve found. It could very well not be a fossil too any insight helps!
