What type of palm tree seeds are they? I got some replies as trachys, but if anyone knows what they might be, please vote or comment.

Those definitely aren’t Butia / Pindo seeds and I doubt they are Trachycarpus either. I have no idea what they could be. Either way they look very old, so good luck getting them to germinate.

I think they're definitely semi-cleaned Trachycarpus seeds but couldn't tell the exact species.  But most likely fortunei which is the most common.

Those are reniform, a clear indication of T. fortunei, or an other Trachycarpus with such type. One observation though. They look to be picked green and don't appear very fresh. Low viability rate but you never know.

Idk, they came in on the date the pindo seeds were supposed to come.

What should help, is Trachycarpus and Butia seeds look entirely different.

Butia capitata is football shaped (pointed at both ends) and Trachycarpus are reniform and much smaller.

As I said in your other post they are 100% definitely not Butia no matter the date they arrived. There are good sellers and there are cons on Amazon.

Ik, so looks like we got mystery Trachys seeds.
