I cannot really tell a lot of these, but the second one from the top looks like a Fenestella to me. Neat finds though!

The top one looks like turtle shell. The second one is bone as well I believe. Fenestella would be out of place in this time period I'm afraid.

A look at the other side of all these may be helpful.

The bottom picture is the underside of both items.  Thanks.

Sun of a gun ! Missed that.

Doesn't change my thinking though. Should be someone along soon who it does help.

What are the sizes of these specimens, and Miocene from where?

The second item is too irregular to be a fenestella, i would rather say it shows the internal structure of a spongy bone or the spongy part of one.

turtle bone and half a vert (split lengthwise) of something as wild guesses. Would also guess east coast miocene but "US" is a big area.
