Dfowler Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 This fossil was found in Nicholas County, KY. USA. I believe it is a branching fossil from Devonian strata period but not sure. I appreciate any information . Also curious if its worth anything. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Looks like a bryozoan. Couldn't say which, though. We don't do evaluations here, but I could at least tell you that these fossils are extremely common. 1 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

Kane Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Agreed that it is a branching bryozoan. In terms of worth, as per the Forum rules you agreed to upon registering, we do not provide valuations. 1 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas.Dodson Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Constellaria? I'm no bryozoan expert but I've seen them in guides/reports and they seem pretty distinctive. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cursory map review suggests that the county includes mostly Ordovician strata with some Silurian and Devonian as well. But this does look a whole lot like the Ordovician Bryozoan Constellaria. As the name suggests they are covered in a constellation of star-shaped monticules (bumps on bryozoa). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fifbrindacier Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 As for knowing its worth, it has the worth you will to give to it. I think it is worth enough to keep it in your collection because it's a nice fossil. 1 "On ne voit bien que par le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."
