hndmarshall Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I found this small stone it had a couple odd tiny items on it which i looked at under the microscopic camera and photographed. The stone itself was about an inch to two inches I thought I had a photo of it but did not and it now lies in one of several buckets of other stones here somewhere. The first item is striped and about the size of a half grain of rice?...the other was even smaller. any ideas what these are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first item is striped and about the size of a half grain of rice?...the other was even smaller. *as for photographing= the items on the small stone are too small for a regular camera to get a good pic of and i used a microscopic camera I am currently trying to locate the rock to obtain better photos so for now- what we have is what we have...sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plantguy Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 First one kind of reminds me of a fragment of a longitudinal section thru a bryozoan...not sure about the 2nd one....hard to see the detail and I know how hard it is to photograph tiny things--I fail miserably with my phone setup! Here's a photo for comparison sake from the document below... Need to check the measurements to see if they are at least similar to yours Photo from this document/link: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1111/pala.12170 FRONTIERS IN PALAEONTOLOGY PHYLOGENY AND DIVERSIFICATION OF BRYOZOANS by PAUL D.
