This is actually slightly raised above the stone and from an inland site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamalama Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Not a cephalopod but likely a Bryozoan or Coral (which Cladopora is) -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers.

Bob Saunders Posted March 28, 2020 Author Share Posted March 28, 2020 different camera 1st image shows it is slightly raised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamalama Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 With that structure I would say it's not a Cladopora as the tubes are too close together. Not well versed enough in my bryozoan cross sections to suggest anything else though. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers.

Fossildude19 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Nice pics, and interesting on-going project! I see lots of bryozoans and crinoid bits and pieces. Some wonderful "hash plates".

Bob Saunders Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 Today's lowly find. High up. 1/4 inch screen. Would like to know what the round ring is with small Crinoids inside? Also Bryozoans. shown wet. A lot of clay and much work for one person. But social distancing. That would be from around 10 feet deep according to the land owner. .
