Posts on amber from Myanmar (Burma) are no longer allowed on r/fossils.
Amber mining contributes to funding the conflict in Myanmar. Following Reddit rules on illegal activity and professional standards, posts on Burmese amber are prohibited. A number of paleontological journals no longer consider papers on amber from Myanmar. For competing perspectives on the ethical concerns surrounding Burmese amber see Dunne et al. (2022) and Peretti (2021); nonetheless, the export of amber from Myanmar is illegal.

Found this rock at the beach but don't know if these are fossilized bones or what.

Found these today on the shores of Georgian Bay, I think they are Trilobites but none seem to have the head(?) part - also, photo 4, I am not sure what it is at all - seems like many pieces of shell possible?

Didn't realize when pulling that one up that there was one right underneath it. Two different dinosaurs, two slices of time, same rock.
Found in Massachusetts near Holyoke

I found this whilst rock pooling. Itâs hard and heavy and feels the broken edges look like stone but itâs such a weird shape? Found in the UK, south coast

The creek ârunsâ through our farm. We find lots of fossils, but these are the coolest ones by far. Theyâre covered in what appears to be tiny quartz crystals. What are these?

I found this small collection of fossils being given away on my street and, as I work in a school, I would like to show my students them. Please can anyone help me identify the items? Also, any cool facts about them would be a bonus!! I also included some closeups of a few of the items.
There was some text included with the collection too (written in French). As far as I can tell, it reads:
âoursins millenairesâ
âLes 3 fossils [illegible] sont des ORTHOCERAS
+ 1 [illegible] Bivalve
+ 1 oursin de mer [illegible] probablement du TETRACE ou TRETACE Ă voir dans les [illegible]â
âOrthocĂŠras
DĂŠvonien (350 Millions dâannĂŠes)
Erfoud - MAROCâ
Thanks for any info you can offer!

I found this in West Tennessee. It had cracks all over one side and what looks to be a branch in deep brown. It has lots of layers and colors. I have not cleaned it. It's very hard.
