Mainefossils Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 This specimen was from my most recent collecting trip. It is from the Leighton Formation, which is Pridoli, Silurian. It was suggested by @Tidgy's Dad that it is likely a cryptosome, but I was hoping for a third opinion. The following pictures show the specimen. I have already posted some of these pictures, but have added scale (finally). The first two are of the two pieces of the specimen - I refer to the top image as the "external mold" in reference to the Nuculites bivalve next to it, and the second as the "cast". The last is a close up of the "feathery" section on the end. Thanks for reading! 1 The more I learn, the more I find that I know nothing.

Fossildude19 Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 I think you are correct with it being a bryozoan, Asher. Neat find. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."
