My very sweet loving man who went hiking with me to find them (even though he kept saying there arent any fossils and still kept examining the rocks) found the spiral shaped fossil. Anyway he says they arent and I say it is. I suggested we ask the internet. He doesnt know about you guys.

Scale is important. If you want random strangers on the internet to interpret something you found, then give us something to compare it to. A TAPE MEASURE would be nice, right there in the same photo next to it so it can be read, for example. They are obviously shells embedded in clay, soil, rock, sand, or something, but are these closeups, or are they satellite photos? We can't tell unless you put a banana, a copper penny, a ruler, ANYTHING we can get an idea of scale from, in the pic with it.

Obviously, I'm exaggerating here. I know it's not a satellite photo, just making a point. It gets tiresome when people ask "what is this?" but provide no information as to size, approximately where found (doesn't have to be exact, but a basic region might help) etc. Geologic stuff is often real easy to look up if you know where to start. Most everything's been mapped.

OK. I can definitely tell you it is ancient seabed deposits. I don't have access to USGS maps over there (it's not the US) like I do here but yes, of course they're fossilized sea animals and other features of the typical buildup of detritus on a sea floor. You have what looks like a worm casting (former annelid burrow) and some plant stems too, probably. Note the Fibonacci curve of the nautilus, mollusk or whoever that was, in the first pic. Definitely a marine animal, not just a random rock.
