Andalusia, AL material

[Sauropod19]

Hello. I have been working on properly cataloguing my old fossil material and was wondering if anyone might have any ideas about the origin of these two fossils from Point A Dam near Andalusia, AL. I know they don’t have many descriptive features but figured I might try. Based on shape, I think 1 might be part of a ray mouth plate, lost on 2 completely. Also, my apologies about the image quality; hopefully getting a phone with a better camera soon. Thanks!

I think you're right on #1. #2 looks like coprolite to me.

Lol, now that I think about it.... thank you for replying!

If that is cancellous bone in the center of #1, it's not a fish mouthpart.

#1 looks more like a dermal plate to me. #2 isn't fossilized #2. It looks like a backfilled burrow to me.

#1 looks like a piece of turtle shell.  I agree with Lori on backfilled burrow for #2 or possibly just a concretion.

Yes...turtle shell. Something about it looked familiar but couldn't place it. I've been away too long.
