Found these on one of my many creek hunts (2 different creeks) Northwest MO.

This is a piece of broken bone type material, off of what is what i cant decide.

This is the only broken edge on this item.

This is fossilized, and i dont know what it is. It almost looks like a mushroom.

Interesting, what area are you located? Local geology is key to finding a possible match. The top looks like a shoulder blade of some type, almost deer like. Are you sure its fossilized? The second looks like a femur ball socket. But with no local geology or an estimated age I can't guess. Its definitely not a mushroom.
 

I'm not being a smart pants when i say, i said it in the beginning of this post where i am from. And no im not sure the first one is fossilized, its color is not like all the other bone fossils i find. What would make you think its a (scapula) shoulder blade? How am i supposed to know an age of either of these, first you identify, then with that information we are able to determine approx. age then. Hey i am in no way shape or form of anything close to an expert, but the head of the Femur is quite different from the object that i am holding, and it is fossilized hard as stone. Please don't take any of this as being disrespectful, i mean it in no way at all. Its just that when i identify something i usually have something to compare it to, otherwise its a mystery until i find something that matches it. Look back on my other finds in this fossil forum and see what i am used to finding. Thanks for your interest in my finds and i hope we can figure this out together.
