What did I find at Ladonia Fossil Park TX?

Would love this community’s input on what I found on a trip to Ladonia Fossil Park two weekends ago - I’m trying to determine what - if anything - I found.  Trying to find a good fossil guide to aid in searches - any recommendations appreciated!

You found some belemnites (long brown/black cylinder ones) , gastropods (dark phosphate ones), and some Inoceramus and shell materials.  Rest are red rocks common in the NSR.

A Field Guide To Fossils Of Texas by Charles Finsley is an essential reference in Texas.  

 

For easier identification, it's better to have much smaller photo groups so details can be seen.  :)

I think you meant Baculites for the flattened cylindrical ones.  ;)

You are correct!  I meant to say Baculites, LOL!
