Found in a slab (used for paving) on a ride this weekend. Fish?
Pace fork from the 90's?
horsetail (plant) would be my guess but it looks like the rock is a greywacke (shallow marine rapid deposition sediment) which would be surprising. It's nearly 15 years since I graduated though and I haven't geologied in anger since. get your local uni geology depatment to have a look.

Is that my Justin Robertson Guerilla mastermix? If so I want it back!
It's a test of faith, don't be weak!
thestabilizer has it - horsetail probably. Has a distinctive bamboo like stem that you can see in your photo. Course, when I last geologised you had proper rocks like granite.
Bamboo here in the UK?

Not bamboo - like bamboo in structure. Bamboo and Horsetail are both a kind of grass. You'll still find horsetail growing here - somewhere within 100m of your house probably.
But you're talking about fossils here - things were little different when they were formed. Snickers were still called Marathons and you could have a night out and get a bus home and still have change from a fiver.
The UK has not always been where the UK is now hora- have a google of plate tectonics, it's way more exciting than fossil sea plants (IMHO, obviously). Scotland was part of Canada.
(I'm with the others on this, horsetail makes sense)

I've changed me mind - it's a dinosaur penis
