unknown type fossils?

[Bob Saunders]

My rock club had a silent auction and I won these two and it looks like they are soaked with mineral oil. Seller listed as unknown. First look to be Brachiopods. 

8.5 cm x 6.8 cm . 
Side one has 3 nice ones & 4 tiny ones 
-- # 2 largest is 3.5 cm wide x 2.5 cm high   
#3 smaller 2 cm wide x 2 cm high

The second item, I would like to know what all  I am looking at. I assume from the USA. contents and possible location etc. some soak in dish detergent in water did not remove much oil.  Thanks. both appear to be limestone. 

Fossil death plate 
Unknown location

15.4 cm x 11.5 cm x 3.5 cm thick.

The second appears to be a crinoid has plate.

Second one actually looks more like a branching bryozoan or worm tubes, rather than crinoid. 

The first one looks like Rafinesquina sp. brachiopods, maybe. Definitely some sort of Strophomenid.

This one is from a different seller with an minimum  bid of $1.00 and I was the only bidder. . Listed as, Fossil Plate. Trammel Fossil Park. Cincinnati, Ohio. I would like to know about the types of fossils in it? Not sure if it is shale and not had time to look on line for information about the fossil park. It was mentioned as a Industrial Park where they reserved an area of fossils for the public to collect.

This one looks like it also has brachs from the order of Strophomenida and some from Orthida. Probably some other bits and pieces thrown in.

 

If I had to venture a guess I would think Rafinesquina sp. and Vinlandostrophia (Platystrophia) sp. 
 

Adam may be able to narrow down the ID even further, or deny mine.  @Tidgy's Dad.

I think it looks more like a branching coral. The first example is Ceratopora dichotoma and the second is C. jacksoni.

I dunno. 

But the more ribbed ones look like Cincinnetina and the fine ribbed ones Strophomena to me.

I’ll go along with Strophomena. They look so similar to Rafinesquina at first glance, that I get them mixed up a lot. 
 

I think you also may be right with Cincinnetina. I saw the valve in the top right of the first pic and thought the sulcus and ribbing looked more prominent. Examining the third picture a bit more closely, the valves are a bit covered but they do look more like Cincinnetina. I think that I have seen so many Vinlandostrophia that I have them on the brain! Everything starts to look like one.
