I've found various fossils NE of Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that I'm interested if anyone can help me identify.

Very interesting group of fossils. Any idea of the age?  The first picture is a group of echinoderms, they are sea urchins. The second picture looks like an internal mold if a gastropod.  I don’t know what 3,4 or 5 are. Six looks like the impression of the top of a horn coral and 7 is a type of coral. I do t know what the last one is.

I agree with @ClearLake. Its looks like the eocene fossils i can find, note that i'm not saying yours are eocene. Could you give us more information on their geological age ?

Could you also take pics of all the sides of each fossil with a rule (or give us their size) ?

 

Thank you.
