I found the following two fossils several years ago in the Brandenberg valley in Tyrol, Austria (Gosau group, upper Cretaceous). They just resemble the two biggest pieces (20-30cm) of many of smaller stones, which were loosely lying on the ground. I have a very hard time to tell what these fossils resemble. Are they some crinoids? remains of a fish?

Looks more like some sort of bivalve/oyster.  :unsure:
