Spookwoman Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 This found on the "heavy rock" after soaking. Its 7mm long and less than 1mm wide. Looks Bryozoan to me and possibly Crustopora I think. Any ID would be great. Area is ordovician. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drizzt0000 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Looks like bryozoa to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilized6s Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 It could be a small branch of a Polypora Bryozoa. It's hard to tell with it's size. ~Charlie~ "There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why.....i dream of things that never were, and ask why not?" ~RFK ->Get your Mosasaur print ->How to spot a fake Trilobite ->How to identify a CONCRETION from a DINOSAUR EGG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookwoman Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 Tiny is the word. Can say though there is nothing broken off the sides likes branches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herb Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I would say bryozoa also.

Wrangellian Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 No ammonoids in the Ordovician There were some in the upper Ordo, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookwoman Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) I believe nautiloids started developing into the spiral we know during the ordovician but it not till early devonian that they evolved fully and by late devonian they were everywhere. Thanks for the coral or bryozoa, it's a pity there is no complete all in 1 place to get an id on them. Left it soaking over night and more details showing can be viewed as large http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/gallery/image/32249-heavy-rock-with-coral-shells-etc-possible-polypora-bryozoa-image-updated-after-soaking/ Edited April 7, 2014 by Spookwoman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrangellian Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 The earliest ammonites were in the Devonian As I understand it, true ammonites appeared in the latest Triassic - everything before that was an ammonoid (or nautiloid). Just splitting hairs, but only because of the hair-splitting between coiled nautiloid and ammonoid! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
