couldn't decide whether to post this to ID or general discussion. Would be curious to have an ID on this but the interesting thing is its position and growth habit. The bryozoan is growing on the inside of a baculite living chamber. No aragonitic preservation in the Peedee so the shell of the baculite is gone, leaving the bottom of the bryozoan colony exposed. The radial growth is also interesting. Can't say I've ever noticed that before but it may be common. Baculite fragment is 40x25mm. Fossil was found in the loose arenite of the Rocky Point Member of the Peedee Formation, late Cretaceous, Maastrichtian. Pender Co., NC, USA
