I'm new to the site and am finally engaging my childhood fascination with fossils with a little hunting. I found these in the Oregon Buttes area of Wyoming. I think it's some kind of algae, but I'm unsure. The area is known to have been a shallow sea area. In the area there is a lot petrified wood and fossil coral. I have other pieces of the stuff. It might just be a kind of mineral that I am unfamiliar with. Learning as I go. Any thoughts?

Also found this in the Oregon Buttes area of Wyoming. It was known to be a shallow sea at one point in time. (Still learning my regional geology). Found a lot of petrified wood around where this was. Lower elevations had lots of coral. To me this looks like an appendage fragment from a mammal, but I don't really know what I'm talking about. (I probably shouldn't have shot these pictures on concrete. I can upload others if needed.) Thoughts?
