Baculite part of a nautilus.

 

Baculite

Bits of Baculite

 

All the layers of a huge gryphea

 

 

On left 2 huge gryphea. Red and black baculite. the algea covered thin over TX I thought could be the underside of a sea urchin.

Sorry a few rocks snuck in there and at the top at first I thought it was a chunk of petrified wood but now am thinking it could be a wore down bone fragment.

Your "huge grypheas" are more accurately identified as Exogyras.

Thank you I'm for sure not an expert so every little bit helps!

Nice. 

Baculites is a nearly straight-shelled heteromorph ammonite, not a nautiloid. 

The pretty red one at the top seems to be a fragment of another ammonite.
