Rocky Stoner Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Hi folks. I cracked into some very nice bryozoans today. Mostly the fenestella (?) and also see this item that looks like the upturned nose of a dipleura. Do you see the same ? Will post some pics of the bryozoans in the general section. Thanks.

Darktooth Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I do see what you are talking about. It has the basic shape of a Dipleura cephalon but the raised cheeks and eyes are not present, so I am not so sure about this I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie.

Rocky Stoner Posted June 13, 2018 Author Share Posted June 13, 2018 Thanks Darktooth . I might try to clean it off a bit and send another set of pics. The bumpy surface and the un-natural surface contours have me guessing. Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are 3 more pics with it cleaned off a bit. That guy flips both ends up at ya. Thanks Gents, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey P Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Now that it is fully exposed I can see that it is definitely a Dipleura dekayi pygidium. Congratulations. Thanks to Piranha for seeing it for what it was before it was exposed like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
