More fun finds.

It Rained!!! So more goodies showed through my plowed pile.   Grouped multi views of a piece so you see different angles.

I wonder if this might be the infilled burrows of a clionid sponge in a shell that has disappeared. See similar one from the Cretaceous. Note slender passages between larger chambers in both.

Very cool! That was the back side of the once shell. Both side shown.

Looks like a classic example of it.

The second photo with all the Conus  shells and the Volute (Scaphella  sp. - top row, far right) is intriguing.  I will bet you that if you shine an ultraviolet light on them (longwave UVA, approx. 365nm) the original shell markings will pop out at you and give you a sense of how ornamented these otherwise chalky critters looked like eons ago.  Attached are a couple of photos of some fossil Volutes from my collection in both natural light & U.V. light for comparison; putting U.V. light on some of your other finds may surprise  you:

All cleaned! Used the 365nm light on them.

Well done!  Amazing what  you can observe when you literally "see things in a different light".
