Herb Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I believe it is a bryozoan. Here is a pix of the Paleogene species Lunulites sp. from Alabama for comparison.

Al Dente Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I'll agree with Herb. It looks like a bryozoan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plax Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 this thing is 2 or 3 mm. would it be the original setting of a bryozoan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be something similar to Lichenopora : https://www.google.com/search?q=Lichenopora&biw=1015&bih=909&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=miyYVL3nFIatogS9xYLQCQ&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plax Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Looks like a good pick for genus. Never saw anything like this but perhaps just haven't looked.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
