The fossils in the right look like solutary coral. Were did you find them? Can you make some more pictures? (sorry for my bad English)

Sorry, but I don't know wich species the spirals are. I think that you at the right of the spiral in the rock a differend fossil can see. Mightby a bryozoa or a coral. You can try to look for some other fossils that might give some information about the period were the fossils lived.

Hi bdpoirier,

The spirals you found are fossil bryozoans, called Archimedes. Very nice!

Greetings, Tom
