From the Atrasado Formation in San Diego Canyon, New Mexico. Took a couple of younger friends fossil hunting, and we found a good bed. This one's a real beauty. My photographic equipment is primitive and doesn't do it justice. Graptolites and something else. Not sure what the circular structures are; I don't have the equipment for proper microphotography. There is a very clear echinoderm plate elsewhere in the sample so I'm wondering if these are some kind of echinoderm. They're very clear under the loupe and obviously fossils, not sedimentary structures. Bryozoans. This particular bed was thick with the stem bryozoans in the second photograph, as well as scads of brachiopods and a few crinoid stems.

Collected from Atrasado Formation (Pennsylvanian carbonate shelf formation) Best photos I could manage: And, for fun, some real fossils from the same venue: Bryzoans: And this I thought was a horn coral But now I'm less sure. Under the loupe, it appears to be more shelly. I could not get a decent photograph to show it, but the large end (what isn't embedded in the rock) is open and seems to have triangular structures along it. A serrated rim, if you will.
