Captain America Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I found this in central Illinois and have no idea of what this could be. It looks like a mess of little chicken bones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolmt Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Looks like a bryozoan colony of some type or other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 It is commonly referred to as a hash plate. It is where a lot of critters got piled together after dieing. Most of the "critters" in Yours look like bryozoan, but I see some other things in it too. If You can post some good close up pictures of the rock? It would help to tell what all is in there.
