Southern Indiana Ordovician ID

Recommended Posts

I was in the St. Leon and Lawrenceburg areas of Southern Indiana over the weekend doing some collecting and I came across this little concave thing - I am at a loss on what it is, any help would be appreciated.

Neat... Looks like a monticuliporid bryozoan, similar to Prasopora.

Would be nice to see a cleaned-up photo from the convex side. Props for taking your scale cube in the field for photos. :fistbump:

 

 

Cheers.

Thanks and it is a pain trying to remember to pick it up when done taking the pic.

Per your request- here are 3 pics of the convex side and the last one is a close up of the concave side.

Sorry if you already had the convex side pictured. My phone takes forever to download pictures, so I only saw the bowl (concave) side when I made the request. Really nice specimen!

Yup. Cool find and great that the deep knowledge distributed among the forum's members allowed it to be identified so readily.

 

Cheers.
