Is this a fossil? Ordovician VA Reedsville formation

Hi all,

 

went on a fossil hunting trip recently and I found some things I'm unsure of. these were found off of Route 60 in the Reedsville formation. My best guess ( assuming this isn't concretion of course) was this may be some sort of horn coral. there was another splinter of rock that looks like it could be a cluster of brachiopods but what kind I have no idea.

Try placing the specimen down on a flat, plain surface and retake the photo with the main focus being the specimen filling the field of view. The use of a ruler or tape measure may also be beneficial here.

Bryozoan for the first/third item.

Brachiopods on the second.
