Graptolites, or something else?

A fossil buddy sent me these photos. His thought was trace fossils, but looking more closely, it seems to me these might be graptolites. I confess I've mostly hunted in beds well past the geological peak of graptolites and are not as familiar as I might like.

They don't look like graptolites to me at this distance. Any chance of getting some closeups of them? Any info on the stratigraphy and location? Looks like these rocks have been brought in from elsewhere to support the slope.

Phylloid algae is a possibility especially if Pennsylvanian rocks are in the area.

My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.
