I see horn corals (rugose), bryozoan bits and crinoid stems. Basically you found a piece of an ancient sea floor. Neat!

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.

Hello thank you . I live in Michigan a mile from the lake. We have a creek in our backyard. I found a lot of interesting rocks in there. :)

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.

Bryozoans and crinoid stems. Likely Mississippian in age.
