Found this on a tailing pile,, I'm assuming it is corral ?

I found this on an old gold mine's tailing pile at about 10,000 feet in the Colorado Rockies. I'm assuming it is a piece of corral ? am I right ? I have found pieces of petrified wood on this tailing pile ,but nothing that looks like this. Thanks PPC

Rather than coral, I think it's another colonial animal, a bryozoan.

I have also found fossilized corral near a mineral deposit. Thats about all Im gonna say about that lol. Good find.

Thanks for the replies you 2. Harry I've never heard of that before,and am probably mispronouncing it,but will be looking it up.
