I believe that the first photo is horn coral but does anyone have an idea as to second group? Found in river today in east central Ohio

Knew them all, one at a time, but unless get late boost of brain-power tonite, must ask my name one “e” or two? ....O, who cares. Just know not spelled C-h-r-I-s-t-m-a-s (bah humbug). Last item in subject lineup looks like rutilated Quartz, or something with threads mineral rutile spun thru it... love it. Love all, will crank up lil’ later, and cheer for them...Digging in GA, ‘bout a mile from the Savannah River -
Ok, Dick Tracy, your pics are now my break from across-the-country-relatives’-visit preparation 🧹🧺🧽. Think 2nd/3rd pics contestant #1 hexagonal coral now filled in solid with fossilizing minerals. Compare this Indiana pic with yours; if looks similar, maybe favositid tabulate.
As for remaining middle item, looks like crinoid stalk, which is Missouri state fossil. (Since creek where found stuff in Ohio, then proposed possibilities more probable!)Last edited by Cecilia; 12-21-2020, 05:43 AM.Digging in GA, ‘bout a mile from the Savannah RiverComment

You should look at all the pics of Ohio tabulate coral featured on University of Kentucky’s website:

Been pondering item #3 some more. Initially, thot rutilated quartz, but maybe only coz part of brain actually finally turned into quartz! But, I see some wavy threads now, and think rutile typically appears more linear, not squiggly. So, because I’d much rather play “guess-the-rock” than plan holiday dinners, please post more pics just #3. (Nice clear close-ups, pretty please!)Last edited by Cecilia; 12-21-2020, 05:43 AM.Digging in GA, ‘bout a mile from the Savannah RiverComment
