A friend of mine had a relative find this recently. We are trying to figure out what made that pattern. Fish? Plant? 22095903_1984389798513472_6275987086409904679.thumb.jpg.b3366830aca4dc7830dcd62986f6a3a2.jpg

Yes, a fenestrate bryozoan, with the actual bryozoan mostly dissolved away to leave the impression. (Look up Fenestella for similar although there are quite a few other genera it may be.)

Yup, pretty nice bryozoan! Almost looks like Fenestella retiformis.
