Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me identify this fossil please. I found it this morning on a beach near Whitley bay, I've put a ruler in one of the pictures for scale. Thanks

Welcome to the forum!

Despite the resemblance to some plant fossils from around there, I think it's actually a very nicely patterned piece of industrial slag.

The bubbles of various sizes are typical, and the pattern looks as if it's caused by a combination of fracture and flow in a semi-molten piece.
