The white thing on the left picture is Beekite.  Probably formed on a coral.

 

Location (County) might help our experts out.

Please number your photos. What is the left photo is the top photo (probably) for some of us.

My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.   

See my Arizona Paleontology Guide    link  The best single resource for Arizona paleontology anywhere.

I am sorry, I am not sure how to do that.

The large fossil in the last two photos is an entrusting coral, Protarea richmondensis, likely covering a gastropod.  This species is common in several Upper Ordovician formations in the Cincinatti area.

Thanks guys! I am grateful! I am not sure if it is legit, but was told that the trilobite partial is an Amphilichas head. Does this sound right to you guys?

Posted

Definitely not a lichid so not Amphilichas.  Looks like something along the lines of Calyptaulax.  Do you have locality data for any of these?  Looks like several Flexicalymene trilobites and the crinoid is likely a Cupulocrinus.  The group is consistent with the Cincinnati area Upper Ordovician.

Yes, in the Cincinnati area!

A lichid such as Amphilichas would have a covering of fine tuberculate prosopon. Although exfoliated, the glabellar lobe swelling would likely be a better match for Calyptaulax as @FossilDAWG suggested.
