BobWill Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 This came from the Deese Group of central Oklahoma. It seems a little long for a conodont at 7 mm but it doesn't look familiar to me. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPS Ammonite Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Branch of bryozoan with up being to the lower right? My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.

The site was awash in bryozoans but I couldn't see any pores on this so I couldn't be certain. There were lots of these Prismopora sp. including this one covered with an encrusting form that has tube-like pores which I haven't identified yet.

Bullsnake Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Maybe a piece of a crinoid holdfast? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked for evidence of stereom but don't always find it on all crinoid parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doushantuo Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Might be Jaekelocarpus bits 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoast Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Doesn't look like conodont, bryozoan, crinoid or jaekelocarpus bit to me but i have no alternative ideas.. What is this composed of, calcite or is this residue after acid dissolution? Very interesting whatever it turns out to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some bryozoans don't have zooids on the lower portions of their branches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
