First one is too fragmentary for me to do anything but guess, and the second is not a fossil but hackle fringe.

Possibly crinoid cross section, but you really should be looking for larger rocks.

I know... but I can’t go anywhere so I just search them in gravels :/ What do you think about this one? Is it a coral?841B82CE-64CA-40F8-982E-64C80F477A38.thumb.jpeg.32657e6a243dfd8c13420c303bce0c69.jpeg

These last ones look like crinoid stem sections to me. I believe the texture seen in them is actually calcite crystals which obscure the lumen cast if it was indeed preserved within them.

Fragment of gastropod shell seems like a reasonable guess on the first one.
