One looks like a fossilized road-apple.
 

The first few seem to be just weird minerals. The one on the right in the last one is a Crinoidea stem fragment.

I found them here in southwest ohio. I was told the first two were types of coral but I could be told anything...
 

Hey Bigjohnnyblue,
The 3rd and 4th photo look like an algae ball, if you are collecting in the Silurian that is probably what they are. The one next to the pen in the last photo is a cephalopod.

I forgot to mention the first and second photos. The one on the right looks like a fossil sponge the one on the right is coral. Fossil sponges are not all that common due to the having soft bodies. However silicious sponges do sow up as fossils from time to time.
Good hunting

I don't know what life-form the first two objects represent. They should display some structure, perhaps at a micro-level, if they are truly fossils.

The second two objects appear to be a bit of coral and a section of an internal mold of a cephalopod fossil.
