Hey ya'll, it's been ages since I've posted on here. I moved to southwest Missouri about 4 years ago and I still haven't dusted off the detectors and gone out hunting. I've been getting the bug lately and now that my son is older and starting to show interest in the hobby I'm hoping to link up...

I found this bone while walking along a creek in Missouri. I'm curious to know what bone it is and what type of animal it came from. I assume it's a leg bone because it has a socket but it seems like a awful big socket for such a short bone. It looks old but not ancient. Any ideas?

I'm very new to fossil hunting and found this on my first trip. Maybe a nautiloid cephalopod? Thanks in advance!

Not exactly sure if this is even what i think it is but if i believe to have found a specimen how do i go about getting it analyzed? Any info would be greatly appreciated and thankyou in advance for your time!
