Unknown Horn Corals Found in Louisville Kentucky

Here is a grayish rock found in Louisville Kentucky that is possibly Louisville Limestone. What find appealing to the largest of the horn corals in the rock are the layers (growth?) that appear along the horn. Not sure if these are Devonian or Silurian. The matrix they are in contains a number of crinoid stem pieces and maybe a spine or two.

Maybe Siphonophrentis or Aulacophyllum Horn Coral

Here is a Devonian horn coral found in Louisville, Kentucky.
UPDATE (January 2021): More than likely this is a Aulacophyllum horn coral fossil.

Unknown Horn Coral

Unknown horn coral with some beekite on the outside and looks like it has trails cut into it. Maybe some snails got to it. This coral was found in Louisville, Kentucky and is probably Devonian period.

It might be 2 cm diameter and 3 cm long.
