Yes, the large items look like horn coral.

I'd like to see a better pic of the object that is between the two corals.

It's interesting, Solius; good eye! What do you think it could be?

Yes interesting, not a crinoid, my first thoughts were, a fragment of weathered coral, looking at it again, I would like to see a better picture of it, but think it’s likely a coral fragment.
