Darktooth Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Looks pretty cool, but I have no idea what it is. I am sure someone on this forum will know. I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiktia Posted October 6, 2020 Author Share Posted October 6, 2020 I searched a bit more online and it seems like it could be a cyclolite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Bryozoan I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 More likely a bryozoan. Reminds me of Prasopora. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClearLake Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I’m with @Al Dente, looks a lot like a Prasopora, especially the bottom (flattish side). Any idea of what age it came from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steffen Langusch Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Yes, it seems to be a hemispherical trepostomate bryozoa, probably of Ordovician age. It is more a kind of habit than a special genus, I think. An older "collectors name" is Diplotrypa, but also Esthoniopora, Orbipora, Revalotrypa and many other trepostomate bryozoa can have such a hemispherical habit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
