that 1st breccia/conglomerate looks real high-contrast and interesting too - or is that fossil instead of breccia?

I find a lot of the same stuff here in WY but mine has a lot of fractures. That is beautiful stuff and great photography also. Jim

Thanks for your comments ! Jim , this particular type of conglomerate is fairly fracture free, you lose some material in the slabbing .

The first Moss appears to me to be opalized coral , i dont know where from . The Silicate Marble of which i have quite a collection of variants can be solid without any defects or can be quite fracturey . The fracturey ones find the rock garden
