Fossil fungi, flora or other invertebrates?

[Steph]

Every facet of this specimen has me intrigued.  Could this side contain fungi or flora? @JBkansas 

 

Potential Bryzoa? 

 

 

Ideas about the circles?

 

 
 

 

Potential barnacle fragments below?

Typical marine hash. Bryozoan cross sections and crinoid stem segments.

I agree with @connorp

Thanks! So far, I have only found ichnofossils (mostly burrows) in that area so  these common organisms are firsts for me. Thanks for the feedback

@connorp, Regarding cross sections of Bryozoa - are you referring to the ‘net-like’ areas or the ‘Dr Seuss shapes’ that I circled here?  Thanks for helping me clarify & learn.

Green eggs, ham, I think this is another bryozoan colony form.

 Here are 2 websites I have found helpful with the marine fossils in my area:

 

Here's a brief overview of bryozoa:

And for help with identifying the shapes, I have learned a lot from this site:

Hope this helps you as much as it did me!
