Your first item is a section of crinoid stem. 

The second object may be part of an orthocone cephalopod, but more views of all the other sides would be needed to be sure. :unsure:

Could not the second one be a part of a trilobite? That was my first gut feeling (you know, the sheep in the clouds...).

Yeah, that was also the first thing that came to my mind when I saw it, to be honest. But then I had a better look, and now I don't know what to make if it. Additional photographs would certainly help...

 

But I confirm identification of the first piece as a bit of crinoid-stem. That'd be sea lily in layman's terms (and is an animal, not a plant)...
