Nautiloid Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Hello all! I found this pretty cool bryozoan back in July and I decided to give it a prep. Its really easy matrix to work with so its good practice for someone like me who’s only done a handful of preps. Like my past preparations, this will all be done manually using mainly safety pins. Fenestella sp. ? Middle Devonian Hamilton Group Moscow Formation Windom Shale DSR, Lebanon, NY Enjoy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaleoOrdo Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Nice work. It seems to be the bryozoan family Fenestella, maybe Fenestella bouchardi. Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleoOrdo Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Is it possible to see if the bryozoan used one of the brachiopods as a substrate? Is it some pattern on the brachiopod? It is common knowlegde that bryozoans used the shells of gastropods as substrate, maybe also of brachipods. Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin As far as I can see, this bryozoan isn’t attached to another organism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
