Your first images might be nautiloid not crinoid.  Third is probably brachiopod. I'm not sure that your final piece is organic. Interesting collection.

I've found a lot of those in lower Mississippian rocks from the Pocono Group of Maryland. I think for the most part they are seeds from some kind of seed fern. 

 

Your other fossils look more like belemites than crinoids.

Thank you for answers. If belemnites (phragmocones, I understand), why such an accumulation and no rostra?

This is a partial echinoid spine. Try to compare with these ones from the Zalas Quarry (southern part of the Polish Jura Chain), approx. 30km west of Kraków.

Your specimen looks to be a cidaroid spine, a large one, similar to Paracidaris laeviscula, described from the Zalas Quarry. More details in U. Radwanska. 2005. Callovian and Oxlordian echinoids ol Zalas. Volumina Jurassica 2005; 3 (1): 63-74

Hi,

the Jurassic brachiopod in flint could be a Dictyothyropsis? guembeli (Oppel 1866) (Oxford-Kimmeridge).

Cheers, Juergen
