Is this a type of sand dollar

Sand dollars and your fossil are both echinoids, (class echinoidea), and have the distinctive five pointed structure on top.

Let us know what locality and formation this came from to help us give an ID.

 

 

My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.

Edit to give location. These came from Greene county Alabama, just noticed I didn’t give a size. They are about 1” across

Most likely Hardouinua bassleri from the Tombigbee Sand member of the Eutaw Formation, Upper Cretaceous (Santonian).
