These were found in Western Alabama in the Demopolis Chalk.  They appear to be locally common.  they are very delicate and hard to find intact.  Hoping to put a name to the face and organize my collection.

The larger ones are Paranomia scabra. Can't tell for the small ones, some more angles and more in focus pictures may help.

It looks that way now. The other one could be a broken little Pycnodonte based on the convexity but it is hard to tell.
