Chunk of seabed(?) with various fossils.

Final fossil! After this I'll be submitting fossils as I find them. Thank you to everyone who helped me learn more about these fossils!

 

Because of the smooth texture on the surface, it seems like this chunk is part of a fossilized seabed, with various things stuck in it. I see a few basic shells and crinoids, but there's lots of smaller things I'm not sure on.

^Anyone know what the above thing is in the middle? The white rectangle bit?^

^Quite a bit going on in the one. To keep under the upload limit the pictures aren't the best quality, but I can upload a reply with a better quality picture.^

^There seems to be a faint rust-colored outline in the middle of this picture. Any ideas?^

^Underside with another rust-colored something. Is this even a fossil?^

I'm just a newbie, but I think the rectangle in the first picture is a crinoid stem and I see bits of fenestella bryozoans in pictures 2, 3, and 7. It looks kind of like lace. (Let's see if I'm right when the experts come!)

I see :Cross section through crinoid stem, individual crinoid stem ossicles, brachiopods, a trace fossil(burrow trace), cross sections of shells (brachiopods, most likely), and bryozoans.
