Hello why there is a Syringopora coral in a NEOGENE-Quaternary formation(Jeddah Saudi Arabia). I regularly find this type of coral and it didn’t seem like much until I learnt that it (or something that looks very very similar)went extinct in the Permian 250 million years ago. there are two possibilities 1: this isn’t Syringopora 2:it is Syringopora and it went extinct much later than we previously thought. the last image is a real image of a Syringopora from the internet. thank you for your time !

Please could anyone help me with the identification of these fossils. I have very limited knowledge so appreciate any comments. All fossils were found in Thumamah Park near Riyadh in central Saudi Arabia and all were collected loose from the ground. The age of the formation here is Cretaceous according to the geological data I can find. The bottom two photos are two sides of the same fossil which looks to me like an oyster of some sort (but could be totally wrong). Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
