Two ID's needed (Western NY-Devonian Age)

I've got that need identifying today.

This first one is on a rock that has many fossil fragments in it:

on the other side it has these Y shaped things....what-are-these-y-shaped-things-v0-mpvboiaca1bd1.thumb.webp.51845efe66fb458c41645859410a6953.webp

I want to say they're some sort of brachiopods upside down, but I don't know....I forgot to include something for scale but they're maybe about a half inch/1.27 centimeters in length.

Also I have this. This might not even be a fossil but here it is....

The first rock has various corals in it. The last one is a cross section of part of an orthocone nautilus. Not sure what the one in the middle is.

The corals in the map of the finger lakes (top photo) are rugose corals. Probably horn (solitary) corals, but some could be displaced pieces of a colonial form. 

The second one is likely brachiopod shells. The Y being lophophore attachment sites.
