Found this lot while out hiking and picked up a pocket full of rocks.

I was hiking with the wife looking for an old abandoned Train tunnel built in 1899. [found it.] I saw some rocks that caught my eye and picked them up. One looks like Ar Quartz and one looks like it could be crinoid's but not sure. Any help appreciated.

Cool rocks there.  I am not good enough to help with the fossils, but I believe the black rock on the top right is coal.  I also live in the Ozarks and find small bits of coal near the abandoned narrow gauge railroad tracks that were used for transporting timber to the towns and mills.
