Vertebrae? What is it!?

I found these in central KY, dry creek bed areas. I think they may be vertebraes. But I just don’t know… and if so, what kind? Shark? Dino? 
I have one at least 4 times as big as this one as well! Whale? I’ll add it in another post. Any ideas?

Not sure about the first piece, but a few of the others appear to be rugose coral (with the exception of one that appears to be a modern scleractinian coral that someone dropped there). The one at the very bottom is likely crinoid, and just to its upper right a nautiloid.
