Sorry, I don't have permission from FossilForum to look at your photos. I'm too lazy (busy?) to registar.

I believe the fossil forum folks are correct - clear, soft (scratches with a fingernail) - probably gypsum or calcite. Just clean it like they said, and don't tumble it, it's too soft. In what location was it found?
The best way to post photos on this site is to use a third party host, like PhotoBucket or flickr. Plenty of tutorials showing you how to do that. Jean
