Most of all I'm curious to which degree these are IDable. 

 

I'll go through 1 by 1

 

first up the main culprit the unID spiral, I don't see any sutures (but also cant see the shell) or chambres so I'm leaning towards a gastropod of some sort but I have next to no experience with gastropods since they are very rare with this being only my 2nd or 3rd one ever. any advice for IDing is welcome

next up is the other(?) gastropod

img7, im unsure if the indentation is part of it or separate IMG_20240923_214052_834.thumb.jpg.b7d2fe441da39f30bb23f9757c0aac25.jpg

 

 

lastly what im assuming is a bryozoan due to a previous find

as always any insights on the specimen, from the type of rock to species names, is much appreciated. I'd like to know if there is a way to make a more precise ID or the specimen is simply too damaged

That last photo is definitely some kind of gastropod, but I couldn't even guess the genus, let alone the species, since the preservation is not the best.
