    Here's my best guess on the first one. I googled "lace bryozoan"....

    There are trace fossils of waves, but I don't know if that's what you have.

      Clearer image, Josh, if that's what it is. I thought bryozoan immediately, but Roger or Jesse know best....

        Yes, I would agree on both counts. The first one looks like a bryozoan of some kind. I don’t see any sub-branching, so it’s likely to be an encrusting form not a fan-form. Despite the plant-like appearance, these are (non-extinct) colonial animals related to corals and exist in both freshwater and marine environments.
        The second item exhibits ripple marks in something sedimentary. When they’re relatively symmetrical, it’s usually the result of a two-way current as you might get in a beach environment when there is swash and backwash from wave action.

            Sorry I came in so late to post a response.
            Yeah Roger is right.
            These are as he spelled out.

            BTW: I have been working towards a goal of cataloging my collection and
            displaying it in a manner that will please my wife.
            She is a little overwhelmed by having my fossils displayed everywhere. In the house anyway.
            She referrers to our home as a dusty old museum.
            It is a "Rock" when it's on the ground.
            It is a "Specimen" when picked up and taken home.
