Hi everyone,

Does anyone know where I can get these few fossils I found authenticated? I believe they are mushrooms and there is not a lot of information out about them.

Maybe a growth plate from an immature animal? Looks as it weren't completely fused.

All the ones on the exterior look like favosites coral

I don't really think so. The one on the right may be the basal plate of a barnacle.

I think the main item is definitely a ball joint from a long bone, either a humerus or a femur.

Possibly modern. (less than 10,000 years old. )
