1st photo - loose fragment from forest floor beside the rock, the fragment presumably dislodged by the Squirrel that had used the rock as place to shuck and eat its Hickory nuts, the evidence I cleaned-up so as to present a clean specimen for photography.
Epipetric/saxicolous, not the usual epiphytic habit on tree bark.
