Crinoid And Coral?

One is of the corel(?) and the other two are what I think is a Crinoid, but I'm not sure. They are surface fossils found in North East BC around Jasper. (Canada)

If you need better photographs I'll make more.

Thanks.

Hello,

I think your first image is of a fenestrate bryozoan; the other two look like coral to me.

Thanks for the fenestrate bryozoan, that looks right for sure, but I'm not sure about coral.

It seems to have a stem formation at the bottom I've never seen coral that looks like that, but I'm certainly no expert, would you know where I could see a sample like that?

My guess would be the second picture is of a horn coral perhaps, with the attachment point being right where the coin is. Hopefully some can let you know more. :)

Ok I've added some more pictures, the problem is it's looks like a square spike kind of like a railroad spike, The front looks like a flower blossom and the side looks like a standard Bryozoan, except for the very bottom where there is a clear repeating crescent moon pattern.

I add some high definition pictures here.

and yes under my flash one side looks green the other side looks blue, I don't know why.
