Guest solius symbiosus Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I don't think that it is a holdfast, but it is interesting. Do you find associated crinoidal debris at this outcrop? Most that I have found have been attached to another critter, or a firm ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most that I have found have been attached to another critter, or a firm ground. Not so much. In this outcrop, 80% bryos, 2% crinoids, 18% everything else (brachs, horn corals, the occasional trilobite) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
