Last week I visited a silurian site and found this stone. I wonder which kind of animals this is? And which kind of stone, which is blue inside with a relative thin layer of white material on the surface. The animals are "printed" on the surface.

Looks like Brachiopod on the left and Bryozoa on the right. The stone appears to be limestone. Can't say what's causing the blue color though.

I agree about the animals. If it is limestone: The blue color inside the stone (RELATIVE HARD MATERIAL) must be partly from clay, since some limestones have clay.

Here is a picture from the site, IT SEEMS ALSO COVERED BY A METALLIC LAYER:
