    This rock recently uncovered by landscaping near where I walk the dog.
    Any ideas if the inclusions are natural or biological.
    Thanks

    I'm no expert by any means but they look like mollusks of some sort to me.

    To me they look like sparely spaced Crinoids. Mostly end on. Not sure though. But almost certainly biological.

    They might also be broken up rugose coral colonies. Given it looks like and it being Ireland likely is carboniferous limestone, Lithostrotion comes to mind.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.
