From a layman's perspective, I always thought a graptolite was an individual organism. You are saying it is a host of individuals???? Indeed, you have the colony. or And in each stipe (branch) are many thecae, each one holding a tiny zooid. 3 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minnbuckeye Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 @Tidgy's Dad, I will forever look at graptolites from a different perspective. Thank You 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that it might be a type of staghorn when I first saw it. Is it too porous? Because the skeletal structure is different from a coral. I would rather guess sponge or Bryozoa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
