What is this thing?


Recommended Posts

Found in New Jersey on the beach. It is hard and about 9-10 cm long. I thought it looked like fossilized coral but I'm not sure.

Agreed  some sort of bryozoan colony.

I see these water-worn bryozoan colonies often on beaches in NY and NJ. Almost certainly modern.
