Found a couple of oddities today, odd to me as I have never seen anything like it. Hopefully one of you have. The first is from the Eocene, Castle Hayne formation. Could it be a color impression , or mold of a coral ? The second is from the Cretaceous , Peedee formation. It looks like  bryozoans , but why just in the hole ? Where they washed into the hole? The scale is mm in the first pics. Your thoughts and ideas are appreciated. Thanks.

The first one looks like an external mold of a brachiopod with the grooves filled with calcite. Very pretty piece! And I do agree that the second looks like a jumbled mess of bryozoans, although I have no idea why they are preserved just in the hole.

I'd say the second one was New Hanover Member and Rocky Point Member contact with some regular Castle Hayne comfort member filling the cavity. I at first took the first one for a reworked Trigonia but mayvbe seeing this because of the incomplete nature of the specimen.
