trempie4 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Looking for ID for the 3 different bryzoan specimens labeled 1, 2, and 3 as well as these ultra cool little oyster clumps. Location = Hampton VA USA There is an offshore fossil bed that these wash out of after storms down on a private beach I have access to. Miocene I assume, somewhere around the St.Mry's fmn. Also coming out of this bed are the less frequent poorly barnacle-encrusted chesapectan and the very very infrequent ecphora. I've found very infrequent fossil horse teeth 1/4 away so there is a lot going on fmn wise... I collect these when I'm local after storms and the oysters are pretty cool as they semi-frequently form the free-standing clumps of 2 to 4 or 5 oysters. I like to dump these into interesting glass containers as they make pretty cool display pieces. Anyway, also attached are a few more pics of the oysters and bryzoan specimen #2. Thanks in advance.

trempie4 Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 One last note on the oysters. I've never found any of these oysters any larger than 1.75" or so, so obv not a very large speices.... Joe... (evolution ROCKS....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abyssunder Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 Could be the geological age Pliocene-Pleistocene or younger, rather than Miocene?
