What is this trace fossil

So I found a couple months ago down Southend on Sea on the beach and I noticed there was in a front which I’m pretty sure I couldn’t mean that there was a animal that I called inside when the cement have came and left an imprint but I just wanted to make sure it is and what species

Could an insect husk be preserved inside a hollow fossil in devonian limestone?

I recently found a hollow small fosillized shell in devonian limestone and by accident I cracked it open and a small insect husk fell out (pictures are of the exoskeleton). In the last drawn picture is how the fossilized shell that had white color looked. It had no hole however it seems very unlikely an insect husk has been preserved so well from that long ago. So im thinking that maybe a small insect crawled inside through a small crack and died inside that shell somehow.

The fossil was hidden in a limestone wall and I found it by cracking open a chunk of limestone but there were many cracks. Other fossils I found were Bivalvia and Bryozoa and the place I found it was Teplice nad Bečvou in Moravia in Czech republic.

I also wanted to ask how I could identify said insect, although its probably impossible.

Creek Southern Ontario

I found and cleaned this up a couple years ago in the Headwaters. Always thought it was a nautiloid, but maybe not?

Help confirming possible identification

Hi all! Super new to Reddit so please excuse me if I post anything incorrectly but I have two fossils of teeth that I had potentially identified and was hoping to maybe get those ideas confirmed or the correct answers identified.
The white tooth was found in Russia and I was given the potential ID of a cave lion and the dark tooth was found in Africa and was given the potential ID of carcharodontosaurus. Any ideas?

Creek Find - North Carolina

This object was found in a creek in North Carolina. It’s approximately 7 inches long and very dense. Any thoughts?

This location does produce fossils, mostly shark teeth and shell.

Thanks in advance!

My friend found this weird rock on a beach by a harbour near Dublin, this could be the wrong sub to ask but we're stumped and would love some pointers. Cheers.

From Colombia, fossil or no?

Trying to identify this object. It was brought back from Colombia recently and was said to come from a mine. I was told it might be a fossil, but I’m not sure whether it’s actually a fossil, mineral specimen, concretion, or something else entirely.

Photos attached including top, sides, and underside. Any ideas?

Mandible ID please, Wise County N.Texas, found in creek

Found while walking a flowing creek on my property in Wise County, TX. It was falling out of the eroded bank after the spring rains we've had. Many fossils have been found on my property, but I think this one might be modern. My best guess is bison mandible with m3? Posting to r/bonecollecting in case it's modern.

Found among thousands of other fossils. Mostly trilobite “butts”, curious what I’m looking at here.

I posted on the other fossil page about a ton of Ordovician fossils I saw this weekend. What is the one in the first pic?

I’ve added the other ones to give an idea of what is around it. Location: Ottawa ON

Found in a creek bed in KY

What are all these things? They were EVERYWHERE. Unfortunately for me, it was on federal land, so no taking home. 😕

Unknown origin

Suspect this will be pretty much impossible to ID given the origin is unknown but any educated guesses…

Thank you
