Hi bjorn512, interesting specimen you have there. Was the other coral/bryozoan you posted in the ID section from this same Pliocene location in Spain as well? That one does look like a bryozoan but I'm not an expert and would have to defer to others who are more familiar with coral/bryozoans to say for sure what it ...Certainly alot of fine grain detail! Have you found other types of items there as well? Thanks for sharing.

Regards, Chris
