I found these little black, oval shaped things in some coquina rocks in the Florida Keys. Are they plants, cephalopods, or something else?

I was looking for Native American arrowheads and found this. Looks like fossilized plants to me!

Real or fake
This came from brickwork in our cafeteria. There are no other ones of this pattern. Do you think it’s real? If so, what is it? Not sure where the rocks came from but we are in North Georgia.

Is this an Ammonite or something else?
Me and my partner recently went fossil hunting on the Jurassic Coast and found this. I’m pretty sure this is an Ammonite but could it possibly be anything different?
