The round fossil in the white rock is a Crinoid stem section. Think of the stem as a stack of checkers and you found one of the individual checkers that left it's imprint in the rock. The gray rock has an impression of a Brachiopod shell, possibly Athyris and the last rock looks like a polished piece of shell bed with many small shells smushed together and then fossilized.

The round fossil in the white rock may be a type of roguse coral.
