Bearpatches Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 My sons and I found this rock on the shores of Lake Erie near Point Pelee on the Canadian shores. Doubt it’s anything too special, but it’s by far the largest cluster of fossils we’ve ever found. If anyone has any insights it would be appreciated. My sons really want to know more about it. Thanks in advance. If there is interest I can post pictures that are closer up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Nice find of Bryozoans! Older than dinosaurs! I don't know, ... any fossil you can find on your own, I consider pretty special.

TqB Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I think the first one is tabulate coral rather than bryozoan, the pores look to be about 1mm or more, too wide for bryozoan. Maybe Cladopora? 1 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I hadn't noticed the ruler in the image. I think Tarquin has it right with something like Cladopora sp. 1 ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
