3 years, 6 months ago3 years, 6 months agoAs stated in the other comments, color can be deceptive when it comes to bones @victoria-fowler! Another way to test them is by weight! As bones mineralize (or fossilize) they become heavier. If you have tile or concrete floors, gently dropping them on it creates a pinging noise that is quite distinctive in fossils! Hope this helps!

3 years, 6 months ago3 years, 6 months agoVery cool brachiopod fossil @victoria-fowler. If you know the location, you can use something like macrostrat.org to determine its lithostratigraphy (the geologic formations this was in) and its age!
