Plant or animal?

Nice finds! The brach fragment would make me want to look for more--took me awhile to find some complete ones over in Kentucky years ago after finding a few pieces. I agree with Herb on the possible family/Genus. Cant help with the corals but they are interesting also. I wonder what they look like with a polished cross section? 

As Kim pointed out looks like you have all kinds of Ord/Miss aged material to look in. https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/ngm-bin/pdp/zui_viewer.pl?id=7339

Continued hunting success.

it looks likely you could have mixed Mississippian and Devonian in the same area. The Miss. horn corals are not usually as big as the ones you have.

With the biifurcated plications, (shell ridges split into 2 at exterior of shell edge) I am pretty sure the brachiopod is Orthotetes sp.
