Found in a creek today. Any help on Id. One looks like a clam shell of sorts but is solid and the other looks to be like a gourd. Shell thing is 2" x 1 1/2" and gourd thing is 2 1/4" x 3 1/2" . Thanks for any help you can give me. JYD

shell is a brachipod,
round bone with hole in end looks like the end of long bone like a femur or humerus

As has already been pointed out, you have a brachiopod and the ball from the proximal end of femur.

Jaw is from a recent raccoon, Procyon lotor.
 
Thanks all for the help on IDing. Very interesting, can someone tell me from what time did Brachiopod live? Is the bone old? Thanks again. Good luck to all.
:thumbsup: JYD.

I can assure you the Brachipod was alive at 4:32 pm what year I am not sure. :icon_jokercolor:

Just teasing you JYD :icon_scratch:
