Can I have some help in ID for the 4 brittle star fossils I have?

 

Do you think they belong to same sub species or different ? They are all from Morocco.

 

Thank you so much!

Very nice.

Not sure about the first couple, but the last ones would appear to be " Protaster sp." or at least from the family Protasteridae. 

Mine is from Jarfi, Western Tafilalt, Southern Morocco. from the Late Ordovician Bani Group.

The first two are identified at several online retailers as Ophiuroidea indet.
