Hello Will and a warm welcome to TFF from Austin, Tx. (Hook 'em).  You have an interesting variety of fossils there, esp. considering the source.

Welcome from Illinois, USA. 

 

Marine fossils -- fragments of molluscs, corals, crinoids and possibly sponges. Most of them are heavily worn. Found on the beach?

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