Some sponges look like corals, some bryozoans look like sponges and the direction taken by my eyes cross one each other.
I have a little trace on a fossil that question me. I'll post another thread for this.
Thank you very much.

And i also find that you have a really nice nautilus.

Thank you Oliver, i have magnified the photos i have. I'll take more tomorrow if necessary.
