Dustin TheWind Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 I was looking at shale pieces that had some cool shells sticking out. I thought I would break the best piece off instead of toting the whole slab to the truck. I went to knock a chunk off and this was exposed. I first saw the snakeskin looking part and then I saw the red. I never would’ve know it was there if I hadn’t broke it. Can anyone tell me what it is and can it be saved? I think I managed to find the majority of the small bits. For reference it is only about 1.5in long. I ended up toting the whole piece back. Now I gotta see if it was worth it.

Tidgy's Dad Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Yes, bryozoa. The first picture shows a fenestellid 'little windows' bryozoan piece. And the second is probably a stony, ramose (branching) trepostome. the pink bit being where the outer part had broken away to reveal internal structure. 4 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend.
