 Worm-like coprolite.  Lumbricaria was formally believed to be fossilized worm. Lumbricus = earthworm. Later on new opinion said that fossil might be a coprolite excreted by various fishes. a there was the view that it could be fish excrement. Nowadays, the prevailing opinion is that these fossilized excrements were left for us by cuttlefishes.  There are also 3 nice specimens of a sea lily (crinoidea)  of the genus Saccocoma tenella on the plate.
