A two-sided fossil! Note the other fossil life... Archimedes Bryzoan in Matrix Bangor Limestone Formation, North Alabama Mississippian Period c 325,000,000 years ago Archimedes is a genus of bryozoans belonging to the family Fenestellidae. The first use of the term "Archimedes" in relation to this genus was in 1838. This genus of bryozoans is named Archimedes because of its corkscrew shape, in analogy to the Archimedes' screw, a type of water pump which inspired modern ship propellers. These forms are prett -

I found this around 2 years ago in a creek in North Alabama. I'm pretty sure it's a partial trilobite but I'm not sure.

I found this embedded in limestone at about 1100 feet above sea level on a small mountain near Huntsville AL. I need help identifying it.
