Any ideas??? Trilo spine? Coral? Brach shell edge fragment?

Erratic boulder (Ordovician or Silurian in age), central Europe.

Are you sure about the geological age?
I'm wondering if they (2 or 3) cant be Scaphopoda and the others pectinids? :headscratch:

Not a pectinid, but a brach. The age of the rock is Silurian, or - less likely - Ordovician, but definitely Palaeozoic.

Similar to this ventral free cheek doublure.  A detached pygidial doublure is also possible.

Thanks for the answers! Not bryozoans. Trilobite was my first option on the list, so that's what is getting on the label.
