Yeah, I think you’re right. I updated the order based on your recommendation. Thanks for the help!
I don’t think there are any bryozoans on this piece. I looked a little more closely, and I updated with a few more pictures of fossils I found. On the reverse side is this interesting critter:

I don’t think it’s a bryozoan; I want to say it’s a crinoid, with a little stem to the left, but maybe I’m just projecting a crinoid shape onto it.
Could be a crinoid. My other guess would be horn coral but I don’t see the growth rings for horn coral.
