NC Miocene micros

Went through about half a pint of the sifted matrix I brought home from Aurora. There were shark teeth as I had expected, way more urchin spines than I would have guessed and some small coral like pieces I'm not sure exactly what they are.

Nice sample including the pieces in the top left I am trying to identify:

I think these are actually "erect form" bryozoa. Maybe Biflustra savartii ??

Nice finds.

I agree those are ramose bryozoan bits.
