Tetradium

Prasopora conoidea with unidentified bryozoan. You can also see rust stains. Rust stain can be very prevailing in some layers or spots on rocks. Mainly because glacial deposits tend to be very iron rich from Norrthern Minnesota and then they get dissolved in groundwater and redeposit on the fossil shell hash because they're much harder for water to pass through. Another thing to know: Prasopora strongly prefers muddy sediments and thus wont appear or rarely in carbonate rich environment. .
