I'm not sure if folks would like to do this or not, but I thought it might be fun to have a run of "I Spy" with a large fossil-rich rock that I recently found in our yard.  Experts and newbies both welcome!  This rock weighs 4 pounds and measures about 6 inches by 5 inches.  These are macro images - all from the same rock.  Check them out and see what you can "Spy" in each image!  Look closely - very closely!  And think in 3-D format! ;-)  

 

A bit of background - this rock was found in Huntsville, Alabama and is likely mostly limestone.  I mostly find fenestellan bryozoan, crinoid, and coral fossils, with a few bivalves.  So, surprise me with what YOU see in these photos!

Hello Ramona,

In pictures 1,2,3,5 I can see bryozoans, if I'm not wrong.
