Can't believe no-one replied to this one. It may be Jurassic, but it's still lovely.
Another of these annoying exceptional preservation sites, though - it may not normally fossilise at all, but the fine detail just hasn't been preserved...

Thanks Joe. I have several specimens still waiting to be imaged
