Gone through my fossil collection and have these fossils that not sure what they are they where all found in Bluegrass region of Kentucky.

I think the image 1501 is a type of ruquose coral IMG_1502.thumb.JPG.61b1108012f19dd65482c46056fbb096.JPGthe fossil matix is  1/4 calcite.

The other two fossil matrix is limestone.

Not sure the first one is a fossil.

Last one is a bivalve of some sort.

Second specimen is an oyster colony.

First specimen looks close to the cone-in-cone structures, but I could be wrong.

The shape of the fossil does not match up to any of the brachiopods from  Central Kentucky is it possible that it is Aviculopecten Crassicostatus which is a bivalve Mollusca.
