These are internal molds of clams. Someone familiar with the bivalve fauna of that location may be able to ID these.

Great! Thank you! What was weird was I found the smaller one still in matrix. I was able to chop it out at the site.

If there was a gap between it and the matrix then it is definitely a steinkern.

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!
