Hey all, looking for some help ID-ing these guys! Found in austin Texas in the austin chalk formation but can’t figure out what they are. My best guess on the patterned one is engonoceras serpentinum but there are some parts of the pattern that make me think otherwise. For the larger more obtuse ones, I seriously have no idea where to start. I was digging them up left and right and they’re huge, but have no clue what they could be. If anyone could give me some resources they use for ID help, that would be spectacular also!

The larger ones look like Nautiloids, maybe something like Eutrephoceras?
