BLT Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I’m hoping someone can tell me which type of fossil(s) are in this? Bryozoan? Brachiopods? It looks different from the brachiopods I found in Tennessee. I was inordinately pleased to find this little rock while my husband was building our deck, as this is the first fossil I have found in my yard since our move to Alabama. Woo-Hoo! (Mississippian, Tuscumbia Limestone) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy's Dad Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I agree it's a fenestrate bryozoan. Some have a fairly chunky appearance near the base as in this picture from the University of Kentucky and this is maybe what you have circled in green. 2 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend.

Now I can finally see it being a fenestrate bryozoan. I simply couldn’t make the connection between what I was seeing in hand and the images I found online of fenestrates. (I will blame my lack of ID comprehension on the fact that I am using an iPhone for identification.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
