Pattern on South Carolina creek rock

Hi all,

 

i found this while while looking for teeth in a creek in South Carolina, and the pattern caught my attention. Any idea what it might be or what might have made that scale-like pattern?

The rock is 1 inch in length and about 0.3 inches wide.

 

thanks in advance!

It's the imprint of a bryozoan.

Agreed - that's definitely bryozoan. Reminds me a bit of a particular one called Fenestella...

Opalised fossils are the best: a wonderful mix between paleontology and mineralogy!

 

Q. Where do dinosaurs study?
