railer Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 One is of the corel(?) and the other two are what I think is a Crinoid, but I'm not sure. They are surface fossils found in North East BC around Jasper. (Canada) If you need better photographs I'll make more. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Hello, I think your first image is of a fenestrate bryozoan; the other two look like coral to me.

railer Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 Thanks for the fenestrate bryozoan, that looks right for sure, but I'm not sure about coral. It seems to have a stem formation at the bottom I've never seen coral that looks like that, but I'm certainly no expert, would you know where I could see a sample like that?

pinkpantherbeekeeper Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 My guess would be the second picture is of a horn coral perhaps, with the attachment point being right where the coin is. Hopefully some can let you know more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgcox Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 My guess would be Bryozoans in all the photos. Found these as comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
railer Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 Ok I've added some more pictures, the problem is it's looks like a square spike kind of like a railroad spike, The front looks like a flower blossom and the side looks like a standard Bryozoan, except for the very bottom where there is a clear repeating crescent moon pattern. I add some high definition pictures here. https://plus.google.com/photos/115831434767989755371/albums/5756736301156124689 and yes under my flash one side looks green the other side looks blue, I don't know why.
