Found at the famous Caesar Creek spillway, which exposes the Liberty and Whitewater formations. Thinking Grewingkia canadensis for the horn coral. The brachiopod is not a spiriferid, and is too round for Vinlandostrophia. Four ridges (pictured) suggest Lepidocyclus perlamellosa/Hiscobeccus capax for the calcified brachiopod. And ideas what the circled encrusting bryozoan may be (circled red)? It is not patterned like Escharopora falsiformis--the zooids cells have no pattern, more like Aspidopora sp. Feel free to contest my identification; I am always looking to improve. What are your thoughts?

After finding this piece of matrix while traveling to Ohio, I decided it needed a little prepping. It turned out to be a keeper after 3 hours of work on it! By the way, I adore matrix pieces!! The brachiopods are either Lepidocyclus periamellosum or Hiscobeccus capax. I can't differentiate the 2 species apart. But some major insult had to happen to preserve over 30 of these brachiopods as seen on a relatively small piece of matrix.
