A nice Dictyonema flabelliforme dendroid graptolite from Oslo Fields in Norway. It's Tremadoc, Lower Ordovician in age and is thus maybe around 480 mya. Another angle :

Hello Everyone Today my dad and I visited Bullengarook slate quarry to hunt for some graptolites. The site is aged middle Ordovician and was originally used for slate and gold mining in the 1800s I believe. There was many mine shafts still present and accessible at the site but I decided not to explore them. (Too creepy!). We arrived at the site at 1:00pm and spent the next three hours digging into the spoil heaps and splitting rocks. We came out with many beautiful examples of graptolites. Unlike Bendigo which has red graptolites, the graptolites at Bullengarook were the typical white carbon colour. Hope everyone enjoyed, Daniel
