Can someone help my 8 year old daughter figure out what type of fossil she has?

My daughter is very interested in fossils and has several my dad sent to her. She would like help identifying this particular large rock that appears to have lots of fossils in it.

This is what is termed crinoidal limestone.

There are pieces of disarticulated crinoid stems/columnals comprising a good deal of the limestone.

Crinoids are a type of stalked, filter feeding animal, although they look like plants. They are actually echinoderms.

How about these? Sorry for the poor picture quality. My phone doesn't take good photos.

The first one is probably a horn coral with beekite replacement. I'd like to see a picture from the top of the wide part of the cone. The second one kind of resembles a worn valve of a productid brachiopod in the last picture but it is difficult to tell.

Ok cool, ill attach another picture. What exactly is beekite replacement?

Beekite is a concentric ringed form of chalcedony, a silicate mineral. In the process of fossilization carbonate minerals in shells like this coral can be replaced with silica, and beekite is a form of silicate mineral that it can be replaced with.

 

I'm reminded of this thread that has many examples of beekite replaced fossils if you wanted to see more examples.

Wow, that's really cool. Thanks for the info.
