Would love to learn more about this creature

This was the first plate I actually discovered from my dig site two years ago. Recently, I brought it back out of storage for review. The dry view or the wet view is pretty neat. Let me know your thoughts.

I'm sorry but it kind of looks like a fossilized thanksgiving turkey :)

Yes, other than turkey drumstick, my first impression is bryozoa. 

But we will need clearer photos to be certain. 

Looks like a good find, though.

Along with Adam, I get a bryozoan vibe as well. But fossil drumstick sounds pretty good. :D

Steve I can tell you everything you need to know about this creature. It probably tastes good if roasted right and it was a huge favorite among the carnivorous dinosaurs at the first thanksgiving :doh!:

1st pic looks like a drumstick covered in BBQ sauce.

Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties.

Let me know if these drum sticks are a little clearer. The 2nd pic is exposed to see a little more detail.

looks like the Ordovician bryozoa Parvohallopora sp.
