bjorn512 Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I get this fossil but I don't know what fossil is, is a marine fossil, an alga or coral. I include a picture of a similar "plant" living today. http://geofosil.blogspot.com/2010/11/coral-or-algium-with-clues.html thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markovic Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Bjorn, I believe it is not an alga, tho I'm not sure if it is a coral, neither. It reminds me of some Bryozoan groups. Bryozoa are colonial organisms similar to corals, but they belong to different phyla, because of their developmental characteristics. Here are some photos to compare with: http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:2DJsMsFJ96yD5M:http://www.mrbbug.com/bz7.jpg&t=1 http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:mZFwVgCCP1PXFM:http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s249/Roz_Morgan_photos/100_0961-1-1.jpg&t=1 I hope this helps.
