Need a name for this plant family??

[BEACHSTROLLER]

Is the small plant in picture 2, the seedling version of the other plants?

I think the other plants are animals.

These are not plants, but rather bryozoans, most likely Fenestrate bryozoans, similar to Fenestella sp.

These look like fenestrate bryozoans to me. 

Tim beat me to it.

Do stick around. Marine deposits are worthy of some excitement.

Don’t feel too bad... everyone has to start somewhere. I would have thought it was a feeding arm.

I find it fascinating that something so plant like can actually be an animal.   

These are interesting fossils, especially their skeletal structures.

This one is: Penniretepora

 

 

Olaloye, F. 1974. Some Penniretepora (Bryozoa) from the Viséan of County Fermanagh with a Revision of the Generic Name.

Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy: Section B: Biological, Geological, and Chemical Science. 74:471-506

But is that a calamites just below center in the second shot ?

[piranha]

Another one from Olaloye 1974 that matches with the large frond.  Glauconome (=Penniretepora) disticha

Penniretepora wilsoneri is another interesting look-alike ... time to defer to the expertise of Tarquin to help further:  @TqB 

 

 

Bancroft, A.J. 1985
New Scottish Carboniferous Fenestrate Bryozoa.

those are very nice specimens and photos.

[Missourian]

Bryozoan does mean 'moss animal'.

[Tidgy's Dad]

Nice finds! 

[TqB]

Lovely specimens! Irish Carboniferous bryozoans are famous and figure in much early taxonomic work so they're important for that. I'm no expert but they do indeed look like Penniretepora and Fenestella sps.

 

We need @polyfenestella!
