The fossils in the right look like solutary coral. Were did you find them? Can you make some more pictures? (sorry for my bad English)

Fossil from Southern Illinois, USA.
This spiral is still impedded in the rock.

Sorry, but I don't know wich species the spirals are. I think that you at the right of the spiral in the rock a differend fossil can see. Mightby a bryozoa or a coral. You can try to look for some other fossils that might give some information about the period were the fossils lived.

Hi bdpoirier,

The spirals you found are fossil bryozoans, called Archimedes. Very nice!

Greetings, Tom

@ Do you have one in exchange?

Fossils that I find here are like a landfill....crinoid stems, etc. in large quantities. Archimedies.....Thanks for the ID!
