1) Probable flint sponge.

2) Definite flint sponge (says "Ventriculite" on the old label - not obviously Ventriculites though).

3) Nothing definite.

4) Crinoid calyx (possibly Carboniferous - a lot like this are found near Clitheroe, e.g. Amphoracrinus).

5) Solitary rugose coral, probably Carboniferous assuming it's from UK.

6) Can't tell.

Couple of very nice pieces there. 

I can't add anything to the comments by the Tremendous Tarquin and the Correct Kim.:)

I also agree with them.

Specimen 3 looks to have a spongy structure, but I could be wrong. Can we get better resolution images of this one, also, how large is it?

I thought it's a sponge in flint. :)
