TqB Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 It's a sponge in flint. Hard to ID further but may be Plocoscyphia - there are very many kinds though so that's just something along the right lines. Look at "Plocoscyphia flint" for a couple of similar ones, or just "Plocoscyphia" for a load of nice specimens in Chalk. 3 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I'm sure Tarquin is right. In some kind of preservation those meandering sponges could be misidentified as meandering scleractinian corals, but they are sponges. 1 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.
