Lost river WV weird stuff (Need Help ID)

[Rexofspades]

So I took my folks out to West VA to see the Lost river site, had a splendid time of it just picking through the shale, but I found some absolutely mysterious specimens that I could use some help in identifying. 

 

This one I had thought was a colonial organism, but it doesnt match the bryzoan or corals ive seen in the area

 

 

This one I believe is a brachiopod of some sort, any idea the Genus?

 

 

I picked up this rock and noticed that there was a glabella furrow of a trilobite species in it. I dont know what species it is, all I know is that its Not an Eldredgeops. 

 

 

lastly a gentleman said that this looked like a sand dollar, however I am not certain its not just a formation.

 

oh and theres this thing, I think its the tippy tip of a cephalopod. but a crinoid stem is just as likely. let me know if theres anything to look out for.

Hello,

 

I believe your first item is an imprint of the pleural rib of the trilobite Dipleura dekayi.

The brachiopod looks like possibly Pholidostrophia nacrea?

The cranidium/glabella looks like a calymenid.

Second to last one looks to me like a mineral stain, possibly left over from a brachiopod shell. (Hard to tell from the pictures.)

Will probably need better pictures of the last item.

Thank You!  now that i see it its likely a Dipleura impression.

as for the Calemenid, can i feasibly narrow it down further? perhaps is it a Odontocephalus? a book i have shows that being found in the Lost river site.

This one is a dalmanitid. Odontocephalus aegeria and an undescribed "Dalmanites" sp. are the possible dalmanitids from Lost River.

ah perfect, Calymene seemed to be a little earlier than what you should find for here.
