ashcraft Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Awhile back, some discussion was held on evactopores, which are star shaped bryozoans. Below is a link to a website that has info on them, and is looking for more. http://www.lakeneosho.org/Paleolist/200/index.html Brent Ashcraft ashcraft, brent allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acryzona Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Brent, Thanks for posting the link. I browsed through their website last night. Later as I was looking through some micros, I found something that resembles them! I must have found it unusual and put in the slide for the future. It has 5 stubs and seems to be covered in small pores. When I first found it, I thought it might be a holdfast. Even if it isn't a Evactopora, at least your post and link are making me think it is a bryozoan of some sort. I'll try to post a picture here tonight.

crinus Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Is Evactopora a new classification or is it a family or class name. I always thought it was Evactinopora. Please clarify. crinus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please clarify. crinus My mistake, working from memory. The correct name is Evactinopora. Brent Ashcraft ashcraft, brent allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crinus Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 You are not the first to make that mistake. I have seen it used before and that is why I was questioning it. Kind of like me with Reteocrinus. For years I spelled it Reterocrinus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
