Keweenaw Finds

I found these specimens in the Keweenaw peninsula earlier this year. Any thoughts on what these could be, on my Reddit forum, someone didn't think that the two rocks in the one picture or fossils. They don't look like potosky stones, but the little hexagonal and shimmer in the light. Especially when wet.

Probably rugose corals - similar to Petoskey stones

Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes (Confucius, 551 BC - 479 BC).

I would call the first two rocks. The last one is tabulate coral.

Rock? Maybe. Maybe it's just my imagination, but aren't there segmented areas that radiate away from the lighter spots?

The first two look like Charlevoix stones to me.

Segmented yes. Linear I doubt.
