Went fossil hunting today, a few miles from home--all limestone. Found some interesting stuff, just have a few poor pictures for now. What is this stuff? Shells I know, but the other stuff? What is the odd thing in the middle? towards the top, what are the little bone like looking things, and the little corkscrew looking thing? What are the little 'v' and 'y' looking things?

That is some interesting finds! I'm not any bit of a fossil expert, but the last pic looks like it could be coral. The 1st one has me stumped! this is a job for fossilman. Steve

I'd agree with steve on that last one --- it's where the branches come off the main part -------- the second pic may be the ones like "indian beads" -- segments or if tapered to a point it could just be a shell --- the first " aaaah! " ! ;D --- fossilman where are you ?

Looks like you have a seafloor death plate.I see what appear to be Brachiopods...bivalves anyway,coral and maybe a crinoid root.If it is a crinoid root then that makes it special,if you can get a closer shot of the "odd thing in the middle" and a closer shot of the area in the 3rd picture just above your pinky finger.
