I know I created an album called Rock ID and uploaded 5 pics to it named: Rock ID 001 - Rock ID 005. My name is Shawn Hendricks and the info on the pics is copied again below. If anyone is able to help, I sure appreciate it.

ok here's my guess...
#1 agate or agatized something.. perhaps wood??
#2&3 yep petrified wood...
#4 most assuredly a goethite geode or bomb... more common in Pa..
#5 going to go WAY out on a limb here and suspect something very fibrous
such as a riebeckite or crocidolite, but that would only be a guess, if
it is even a natural mineral and not something man made.
REMEMBER!!! guesses only....
