My granddaughter is putting together her 4- H Geology box and we can't ID these two items. They were found in Western Kansas. The white lacy piece is about 1/4" wide and about 1" long. The other  is about the size of a quarter. Any help you could give us would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.17215314963421456263813116498863.thumb.jpg.a0f3240b267d2f8f0233ecaf2130d694.jpg17215315264608292264429257272648.thumb.jpg.4242e3b1d2e9416e997a7590619f1c5b.jpg

The second photo looks like a fenestrate bryozoan in between brachiopods. The first photo is also a brachiopod, I think. Perhaps someone else can provide a more precise brachiopod ID…

Hi and welcome to the forum.

I agree the lace is a fenestrate bryozoan.

I guess @Tidgy's Dad may know something more about the brachiopods...

Best regards

The first picture looks like a productid brachiopod. If you are a little more precise with location, maybe someone can provide a genus or even species to your find. Usually knowing the county is good enough. You mention pseudoperma.  My understanding is that this  refers to a mushroom. There are no mushrooms in your pictures.

Wish your granddaughter well and let us know how she does.

The first picture is a productid brachiopod and second is fenestrate bryozoan between brachiopods as mentioned above

More specific location and we may be able to be more specific with the IDs.
