fossilized6s Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I see horn corals (rugose), bryozoan bits and crinoid stems. Basically you found a piece of an ancient sea floor.

Rockwood Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I see multiple examples of bryozoan. The faint stars within the circular shapes makes me believe they are are crinoid columnals. I don't see rugose coral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnBrewer Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Nice hash plate, and welcome to the forum! Not everyone will agree with me but hash plates look pretty cool when polished or waxed. If you wet it you'll see what I mean. John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
