Steph Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Every facet of this specimen has me intrigued. Could this side contain fungi or flora? @JBkansas Potential Bryzoa? Ideas about the circles? Potential barnacle fragments below? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted February 14, 2023 Author Share Posted February 14, 2023 Thanks! So far, I have only found ichnofossils (mostly burrows) in that area so these common organisms are firsts for me. Thanks for the feedback 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for helping me clarify & learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 Green eggs, ham, I think this is another bryozoan colony form. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
