Dendritic graptolite

Recommended Posts

 

G'day everyone!

 

I have recently returned from a trip to NSW where I did a bit of collecting in exposures from the Gunningbland Formation (450 Million Years Old). I found this fossil on the last day of the trip and at first thought it was a bryozoa. Though, after a bit of observing and some comments from members of the forum, I believe this could be a dendritic graptolite? Graptolites have been recorded from the formation but I have not found any information on dendritic graptolites from Gunningbland. Any help would be much appreciated.

 

 

Thanks,

Dan

Dan, 

What is the age of the exposure?

Looks like it would be upper/ late Ordovician.
