Horn Coral?

Found this while searching a creek for points near Huntsville AR.  If this is horn coral I'm curious what other fossils I might expect to find in the area.

 

Thanks!

First one could be a horn coral, but need to see pictures of the ends.

Second one is a brachiopod.

 

Unfortunately I didn't keep it.  This the only pic I have.  Funny enough I did take a  pic of the other one from another angle.

I have serious doubts about the horn coral. One would expect to see some indication of septa in the smaller opening if the theca were this recognizable.

I'll have to do more research.  I'm not familiar with horn coral and it was the first thing that sprang to mind when I found this just from seeing other examples.

 

Thanks for the info.

I'd say shell for both, the "septa" being growth lines.

Happy hunting,
