Help Identifying Fossil

I found these while hiking in the desert of southern Utah near Escalante. It looks like either some kind of shellfish or some kind of seed/acorn. There was petrified wood in the vicinity if that helps. The diameter is about 27 millimeters and the height of the first one is around 20 millimeters. There were also a bunch of these half spheres rocks around which I think is related. My theory is that it's just the first picture broken in half. Any help is appreciated.

The second item looks like half of a concretion or nodule.

First one could be a gastropod mold, but I have a feeling it is geological in nature as well.

I think they are geological as well. Maybe someone who is familiar with the area will respond.

 

 

Mark.

 

Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them!
