Third pic looks like it could be a Trilobite cast.

Thanks don, I wasn't very sure of these, it was several years ago I was hired to clear out some storage units, they said if you see anything you want fine, they thought it was all trash.....Most of it was...shredded news papers and stuff bugs and mice made their home...I found a little bag of rocks though so of course I kept them....that's the only one I kinda recognized from my books...trilobite....is cast a word for reproduction?

First one maybe Chert. Looks a lot like Savannah River Agate(Chert). I agree with Don on the Trilobite and the rest Quartz.

A cast is what's left after the critter dissolves. Sometimes the hard outer shell is left. Another thing that piece may be is a fossil fern. I have a few that look similar.

Gosh, my first instinct on the upper rocks was 'brachiopod'... by that could just be my old Invertebrate Paleontology class rearing it's ugly head again.

There's a very simple way to clean the coral pieces for display. In a plastic bucket put 2 gallons of hot water and 1 cup of bleach. Put your specimens in and let them soak for 2 days. Rinse your specimens under running water, then let them soak in plain cold water for a few hours. Here's what they'll look like before and after.
