More Peace River IDs needed

[Meganeura]

So finally finished sorting my fossils from Saturday, and had a few more pieces I can’t quite identify!

 

1) So first up is this piece of fossilized bone - it doesn’t burn, and it’s solid, so I do know it’s bone. Not a clue what it’s from:

 

 

2) Another bone piece presumably - but it’s got parallel consistent striations on it, which have left me quite unsure:

 

3) Next up is whatever this is, found a few of these but always forget to ask for an ID:

 

 

4) Second to last is this rock, not sure if it’s a phosphate nodule or coprolite. Still trying to figure out how I can tell what coprolite looks like:

 

 

5) And finally, while I know this is a burrfish mouth plate, it seems like it’s both sides of the fish’s mouth, as though it died with its mouth closed, wanted to know if that’s correct:

@Shellseeker Does my first bone piece look like anything you’re familiar with?

[Shellseeker]

 

I do not think it is bone,  but if it were bone, the shape could be horse earbone or dolphin periotic, which is also an earbone.

Thank you! The reason I think it's bone is cause despite what the pictures make it look like - it does have the trademark porous nature i've seen in other bone pieces, and the one end actually looks splintered. I could of course be totally wrong though. I appreciate the input regardless, your recent post about the earbones is what made me ask!

3rd is a dental palate of fish, probably of sparidae, but not Sparus.

 

5th is also a fish palate (mouth plate), but only the lower or the upper, I don’t remember which one. I think the Americans call it parrot.

Oooh so 3 IS a fish mouth plate, okay that’s cool, I’ve got a few of those now then!

 

5 is the burrfish - I know that much, just never seen a fossil that looked like the top and bottom at the same time - the fossil itself extends up and down like lips in both directions instead of just the plate. I imagine that’s just more complete than normal then. Still a really nice find, they’re neat fossils to me!

I would like to have a photo of the 3rd property flat on top to see better, maybe it could still be Sparus. Wait until other fish specialists give their opinion.

1st specimen could possibly be a worn internal mold/cast of a barnacle or group of attached barnacles . The irregular/spikey extensions remind me of some of the chesaconcavus specimens I have from central fl. Even some of the small ones have very pointy vertical plates and the  tips go in all kinds of directions. Neat find

I'll have to grab one when I get home, but I can definitely do that. I'll take pics with the other ones I have that are similar as well!

Huh, I really wouldn't have guessed barnacle at all, that is really neat though! That would make the circular part the body of the barnacle then?
