Unknown box of minerals and fossils

[bpmtn]

This entire box was found at an estate sale. There are obviously a couple of small eggs and some bone pieces, I have no idea what the minerals and crystals are. Somebody obviously went through some trouble to collect and save them, I'd like to find out what they are.

Any input is welcome, thanks!

Here are some better close ups of a couple items. This one I think might be tooth or bone.





And I am clueless on this one, it is almost weightless as if it was hollow but doesn't seem brittle at all.




Thanks, let me know if anyone would like to see better pics of anything else!

Welcome to tnet!


Those items in your second set of photos somewhat resemble gastroliths, (dinosaur gizzard stones).

I think OD could be on to something?

Thanks OD and tamrock! In the second set of pics, the top item seems to have a red center that goes all the way through. My thought was that it is bone marrow, or maybe a section of a longer tooth or horn.

I also see the resemblance to gastrolith on the second item, however when handling it I'm 99.9% sure that item is not stone. It doesn't have any weight. Perhaps petrified poop?
