Hi guys , I hope you can help me in identifying this rock .I found it in a small dry river in Catalunya. It is covered by small quartz or calcite crystals I think. I am not sure if it is a fossil, maybe a coral fossil? Thank you 🙏

My father found these fossils near Vilafranca del Penedes (Catalonia). I would be grateful if someone could identify their species (I do not know even if there is more than one) and how old could they be. Their size is up to 25 cm and on the narrow end can be seen, in some of them, a few grooves, sometimes blue in colour while the rest looks mostly pale yellow.

A new genus of Troodontid has been described from late Maastrichtian fluvial deposits of Spain's Talarn formation (Tremp Group). It was named Tammaro insperatus named for a small, elusive creature from local folklore and the latin word for unexpected due to where it was found. Very interesting to see this family of dinosaurs officially represented in Europe's fossil record, along with the overall diversity on the continent when it was still archipelagic. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-83745-5 http://www.sci-news.com/paleontology/tamarro-insperatus-09426.html Holotype metatarsal II http://cdn.sci-news.com/images/enlarge8/image_9426_2e-Tamarro-insperatus.jpg Artist's reconstruction (Oscar Sanisidro): http://cdn.sci-news.com/images/2021/03/image_9426_1-Tamarro-insperatus.jpg
