Devonian? New Jersey Fossil ID help

[frankh8147]

Hello!

 

I found this tiny fossil in Mercer County, New Jersey but I think its a glacier transport from New York. I noticed it had an intricate pattern so I was wondering if anyone knows what it is.

 

Thanks!

Could be a bryozoan, how big is it?

I agree with @Misha , bryozoan.

Thanks! It is so tiny, I wouldn't even know how to measure it. I needed a magnifying glass to see that pattern!

One more, with more (confidence), bryozoan.

Could it be a coral? Definitely bryozoan/coral. Does anyone know how to distinguish between the two other than size?

I sure do, bryozoans look like this, coral doesn't.

Most corals have septa while bryozoans do not. There are exceptions like favosites, but in most cases that should work.

The sort of lycopod like (offset rows) arrangement is a good indication.
