Usually these are completely enveloped by the bryozoan. First time I've seen one only partly encrusted.

Bryozoan OK, Gastropod OK, Bryozoan encrusting the gastropod superb. I love common fossils presented in unique ways, just like yours.

Purty dang cool for something so small.  May I ask how in the world you prepped that?

No prep done. What you see is how it was when I found it.

Gastropods encrusted with bryozoans are actually fairly common in the Hamilton Group sites, but one that is only partially encrusted is very rare.
