What are the elongated traces 3.5 to 4.5 cm long with length parallel marks in photo 4? From crustaceans?

In the first image, the track like trails are Scolicia, we find them quite often in the Naco. most likely large gastropod trails.   I dont think the round lumps in the 2nd or third shots are trace fossils.  In the 4th image, we have seen clusters of these again in the Naco, I belive they are called Asterosoma.
