This is embedded in hard calcified sandstone layer of the upper Eutaw fm. I have been collecting from the site for years but have never encountered anything like this. The paleontologists I have shown it to are also stumped. The cell structure is similar to a pelecypod, but this is no bivalve. The shape is reminiscent of an egg but fairly sure it isn't that. The diameter is 12 cm. I know that photos cannot capture all the details. Any guesses?

Hey all, after a long work-related hiatus I have found myself back in a part of West Virginia that has fossils! Yesterday I found a long bed of unknown material exposed on a ridge in northern Monroe County with a lot of fossils in it. I don't know the formation, but from what I could find out this area should be Mississippian. Am I right in thinking the attached photo is a bryozoa? Also, if I collect more samples, take photos of the outcrop, and give a good description of the material might it be possible to identify the formation? Thanks

This was the first plate I actually discovered from my dig site two years ago. Recently, I brought it back out of storage for review. The dry view or the wet view is pretty neat. Let me know your thoughts.
