Ammonoid

Recommended Posts

Is this a chain coral between the sutures of the ammonite Metoicoceras?  About 4mm long (photo taken thru microscope).  From the Cretaceous (Cenomanian) Tropic Shale in Utah.

Halysites became extinct in the Silurian and the whole tabulate coral group in the Permian extinction. 

Some sort of bryozoa would be my guess.
