Gen. et sp. indet. Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I found it today in gravel on a parking lot in Poland. Age remains uncertain, as the rocks present were all erratic boulders. What can that be? An asterozoan, perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TqB Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Could be bryozoan. Is that a third one in the side, second photo? Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifbrindacier Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I agree, it's rather a bryozoan than an asterozoan.

Innocentx Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Could you show the side opposite the side shown in your second photo? Thanks. "Journey through a universe ablaze with changes" Phil Ochs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Innocentx Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I was attempting to see (if this were asterozoan) if there is evidence of another arm in the form of a hole or something but I'm not sure which picture is the opposite side from the one in your second photo, initial post. I see a hole in the last photo, just above, but not sure what the orientation is. @TqB and @fifbrindacier are saying may be bryozoan. If they could provide photo of similar, that might help you(and me) to understand.

I circled the hole in the 3rd pic of the 2nd group for you. Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties.

The most similar photo i have is that bryozoan i found on a flint sponge of Touraine : "On ne voit bien que par le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."

Innocentx Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 @fifbrindacier That's interesting. Bryozoans are so diverse. Do you think it could be similar to this? I thought it was asterozoan because of length and what's left of the 2 seem to radiate out from a point. I've never found one except for maybe parts.

That photo makes me change my mind and vote for Anthozoan. Thanks for your explanations. "On ne voit bien que par le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."

fifbrindacier Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Could you take photos of that part, i'd like to know how this "separation" looks ?
