Hi I’m wondering if anyone can help me ID these 2 fossils I picked up. I was told they were starfish tentacles or some type of tentacle. They are not goat horns or animal horns as I am familiar with that. I cannot find any info??

I've got a backlog of a bunch of fossils from the Silurian of Gotland that I received in a lot that I have yet to assign an identification to. In order to not overwhelm the thread with too much stuff I'll only post a few for a start. Location: Gotland (more precise info not available) Age: Late Sheinwoodian/Early Homerian Formation: Unfortunately unknown. A lot of the fossils from the same lot that I identified are restricted to the Visby Beds, but that's hardly conclusive evidence. Fossil 1 This one is especially confusing to me. Is this a colonial rugose coral that's badly damaged and heavily encrusted by a bryozoan? Or is it actually several things glued together by a bryo? Fossil 2 Fossil 3 Fossil 4 Fossil 5

I found this coral in central Kentucky. Many are mostly free of any matrix. I am planing to put them in small glass display boxes to give as holiday gifts. Should I leave them as-is? Or can I brighten them up somehow, without taking away their character? They have all been found in an old rail road cut. The matrix around the other fossils appears to be mostly sandstone, with some in limestone. I took a few pictures of the loose coral and some still in matrix. All have been found within ~75 yard radius. I haven’t prepared them in anyway, other than sitting in the rain. My plan is to go over them with a toothbrush, then warm soapy water with a brushing. Thanks in advance for any suggestions, thoughts or opinions.
