    At first site these slabs apear nothing more than a  piece of thin rock with a few shells and other items in them. But this slab is full of bryozoans and crinoids. This is actually a piece of the bottom of an ancient sea floor that is frozen in time.
   I tried to scan a close up and post it below so you can see more detail.
