Comments
A small colony surrounded by Archaeocidaris debris. It shows the obverse side , i.e. the side with pores.
It is preserved on the top face of a thin limestone lens that was overlain by shale.
This is the most common fenestrate bryozoan in this area but the majority of specimens are found in shale and rarely split to show the obverse as it is the "stickier" side due to the pores.
