Yup, probably chalcedony. If you want to be sure, quartz will scratch opal. (a hardness test will tell)

If you want to know the sea critters' names, pop over to the fossil forum, or ask locally. Whether they are worth the time, I'd say a definite yes, it would be fun to find a variety of different fossils, find more voids that have chalcedony/quartz in them, maybe crystals in some?? What a fun find!
