Mississippian bryozoa?


DNF

Recommended Posts

Hey all, after a long work-related hiatus I have found myself back in a part of West Virginia that has fossils!  Yesterday I found a long bed of unknown material exposed on a ridge in northern Monroe County with a lot of fossils in it. 

 

I don't know the formation, but from what I could find out this area should be Mississippian. Am I right in thinking the attached photo is a bryozoa? 

 

Also, if I collect more samples, take photos of the outcrop, and give a good description of the material might it be possible to identify the formation?

 

Thanks

I think you are right. :)
