Raggedy Man Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 I split some blocks of shale from St.Paul Indiana I collected last October and I found this. I was thinking bryozoa. It is 2 inches long and 1/2 inch wide. Waldron shale- silurian ...I'm back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockwood Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Looks bryozoan to me to. That would make the darker spots maculae. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raggedy Man Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 looks like bryozoa to me. I was hoping you were going to see this. Have you seen many like this from the quarry?

GeschWhat Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I came across this on an online fossil seller's site in the UK a while back. It was already sold, but it intrigued me nevertheless. It's pattern is very similar to your specimen. Lori www.areallycrappystory.com/fossils www.facebook.com/fossilpoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would go with Trematopora tuberculata for this one. They are acanthopores (tubular spines), not maculae.
