Whelp, wrote too fast before. Perhaps the large specimen is a carditid. There are some rather large paleogene venericardia that are quite similar

I would also go for cardiidae for the large one and either veneridae or possibly astartidae for the smaller one on the left. I love #NameThatBivalve!

Here is another Devonian sea star fossil on display in @colgate.edu’s geology museum
