Fossilised material in flint?

[jones12]

Hi, apologies if this is entirely inappropriate to the forum, interested in anyone's thought on what the mesh-like cellular structure found in this flint flake might be.

The flake is approx. 15 x 10mm. The structure extends approx. 8mm from edge of the flake. Not sure if it's organic in origin or jus a feature of the flint itself.

Recovered from foreshore in Chichester harbour area, south coast of England.

Looks like part of a bryozoan, to me.

I agree it's bryozoan. You quite often get beautifully preserved fragments like this inside flint.

Great to know, thanks.
