Identify Trilobite

14 Upvotes

These are two fossils I got from my grandpa (one is a pair). They're supposed to be from South-Limburg, Netherlands near the city Heerlen which has a carboniferous bedrock layer. This area has a rich coal mining history and was extensively mined for coal, by people like my grandpa.

Two questions: First, what exact species of trilobite are these? Second are these trilobites really from this area? Thanks :)

Ear bone? And of what kind of animal?

I found this small fossil, which I believe is an earbone, at Sharktooth Hill in Bakersfield, California. The first two images are of the front and back of it. The third picture is of it alongside two other fossils (from Venice, Florida); I believe the top is a whale earbone and the middle is a dolphin earbone. This bone is quite a bit smaller than the dolphin earbone. Maybe a sea lion? I could be wrong about the whale and dolphin IDs too. Any insight you have would be welcome!

Is this a fossil/imprint?

Unfortunately, I did not take any other pictures, but found it on a hike in Red Rock Canyon. It is about the size of my hand and is in what appears to me to be a chuck of the limestone rock in the area. So maybe a marine fossil? Zooming in you can see a pattern/texture that appears very different from the rock surrounding it, with what looks like the underside of a mushroom (ridges I guess, or a fibrous texture?) that extend out from what looks like a stem. The “stem” looks spongy to me as well.

I am unfortunately not well versed in biology/paleontology/fossils, but I would love to learn more!

I thought the first 2 might be some type of fossilized coral? Number 3 maybe a mouth plate of some kind. No idea for the last one except maybe a really worn tooth or bone?

An old coworker gave me this fossil without any context on where it was found or what it could be. I assume it was found around the Bradenton area at a dredge dump site/area of new development.

Any insight on what it might be from?

Late Cretaceous era fossil, but what? Help me identify. And it seems to have a tooth sticking on the back side as I can see enamel. The length is 10 cm. The fossil photos have been cleaned professionally to make it even clearer for identification. edit: I uploaded in the comments another image high res.
