looks like crinoid pieces to me. I did not see that it was Eocene, so no crinoids. Maybe multiple worm tube colony?

I don't think it's related to crinoids considering the geological age (Eocene), but if it was found among bivalves, there's a good chance for tube worms or natural casts of worm-like borings, or even bivalve tubes. For the latter, here's an older topic with more explanations:

I rather tend to coral. Ordinary people call this material "Calamophyllia". This coral type existed from the Triassic to the extant, so some area information would be needed to be more specific.
