Does that include the first picture?

Not sure what to make of that.

Had it been exposed before you found it ?

The second photo is an Inoceramus bivalve, encrusted with the oyster Pseudoperna congesta.

 

The others do appear to be bivalves, but photos from other angles are needed for a better ID.

I found it just as in the picture. I didn't expose it.

The first picture seems a different sort of creature

I think it's most likely a weathered surface that had a thicker layer of encrustation built up on it. There may also be a certain amount of diagenetic mineralization as well.

Any recommendations on possible cleaning or not?

Yes. Don't take my advise on that.

the first one looks like a bryozoan or crinoid holdfast to me

Just wanted to say thanks again! After you texted that , I researched that and discovered something new.  I didn't even see those. I was just looking at the large creature. I shared it with one of my granddaughters. Much appreciated!
