Your last photo does show specimens. I’m wondering if they are perhaps oyster or worn bivalves? They do not look like ammonites.
-
I checked again. I think you should look at comparable photos of oysters and perhaps also some clamshells. Please do let us know what you have found out.

You should check your specimens against the Pliensbachian ammonites shown on Google. They are quite worn, but there should be enough detail left for you to identify at least to Genus. They look wonderful

Photo 1, Looks like some nautiloid and possibly a Turritella. 2.Lovely piece of branching coral. 3. Turritella, a possible bivalve on the right. 4. Perhaps compare to Bryozoans. This is a very tightly packed fossil. 5. Compare to pictures of branching bryozoans. A really grand collection.

I am jealous of your fossil search places. I live in South Africa. Owing to a back problem I can’t walk that far anymore. I’m a teacher and taught at a school which had fossils. I then had Dinocamps for close on 30 years at least once per term. It was great fun and my South African kiddies enjoyed learning about our local fossils. I enjoy…[Read more]

Looking at the textures and cracks on the outside, you may actually have found an egg. How big is this? Your find should perhaps be taken to a fossilshop or museum for a closer look. It would be a great find.
Oh! That would be out of the charts, awesome! What about the “its never an egg” joke? 😌
It’s about 9 cm (3½”). I’ll surely will contact some museum from around.
I live in South Africa. I have been blessed to find 2 eggs possibly a third. They are seldom whole because they usually get trampled. Please let us know what the result.b
How was the process until the absolute sure, that it was an egg? Im quite thrilled, by the mere possibility of being one. Im starting to make some local contacts (with museums), will share more infos, soon is possible.
