Do you ever sell anything you find?
not yet, maybe when i need to retire. im not even sure these are even worth selling. I do not know much about fossils. I'm still learning.

I honestly don't know either..but I would buy a snail after you researched a fair price.
 

I have a relative in TX....old sea bed...I always enjoy the fossils
 

You have stuff from at least two different loclaities.

The trilobite and orthocones (straight shell nautiloids) maybe Pennsylvanian age or older. I also see bulb-like things that maybe crinoid cups.

The snails, oysters, urchins, scallops, lima clams look like Lower Cretaceous age stuff.

Ive got quite a few of those, and other types from the Austin area........Would'nt mind trading for a plant fossil.....
