Had a Day at cocoa Beach FL yesterday and 10 minuts after Leaving the Beach the youngest had to go to the restroom and we found a gasstation. Next to the gasstation was an empty Ground so I went scouting for rocks and found these 2 shells in 5 minuts. It's amazing that you can find this stuff just off the grund. The large Shell has som crystals on the back side.

Monna0000,
In Florida most of our rural roads are made of limerock that is dug from vast open pits. As a kid I would ask the local road maintenance where they recently laid limerock. I would walk up and down those roads and find many fossils like you have there. It would be better after one of our rains. One day returning from school I found a really nice arrow head in a new road.
Keep looking you will find what we call a sea biscuit.
