I bet they could be stitched on to work just fine as buttons.

The white one is button coral but the other one is totally different?

If the other side of the white one looks like coral maybe it is a different species. As of now I don't see it being coral.

Does look like a coral. Are you sure it's a fossil though ?

Could be just a different type of preservation.
