Innocentx Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Thanks, Franz. I really should find out more about this bryozoan as I only find these(I have about a dozen) in one particular layer and I'm curious about them.

Sounds like a nice little project! Are all bryos growing on brachs there? Do you have a ref about this layer? @Tidgy's Dad Franz Bernhard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These would be among the last of the trilobites, from Wreford formation, lower Permian, Greenwood County, Ks. Love this! 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend.

Things like this make my day! Beautiful! Bryozoans are often found growing over brachiopod valves, but I've never seen a case quite this extreme! Amazing find. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend.

Some, yes, though usually only a hint at what they were (mainly impressions). I've read the references I could find from KGS. I'm going to post a more revealing specimen for fossil ID. 2 "Journey through a universe ablaze with changes" Phil Ochs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Innocentx Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 @fifbrindacier. Nice sponges and mollusks! I've always thought the glass sponge fossils are quite beautiful, and your Serravalian gastropod is cute. Fossils can be cute, right? 1 "Journey through a universe ablaze with changes" Phil Ochs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very, very, ugly sometimes, but very very very cute often, whatever, always interestings and exceptionals. That one is cute, i found it where there was nothing else to find except broken shells of oysters. When i tried to disengage it, it broke and i had to glue it back. Hence, i don't dare to touch it any more and so, won't know what species it is, but that's the fun of it : trying to know and sometimes just have Something cute without a name.

Quer Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Gone this morning to pick some Exogyra in a Maastrichtian limestone site I have spotted last Sunday: As I was at work some passers-by looked at me... And finally, not much diversity, but fine production: And a piece of Almucidaris falgarsensis as a tip: Now it's time to find out wich Exogyra are they. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
