minnbuckeye Posted Saturday at 11:57 AM Share Posted Saturday at 11:57 AM Looks bivalve or possibly brachiopod to me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Kane Posted Saturday at 11:58 AM Share Posted Saturday at 11:58 AM It looks to be a fenestrate bryozoan to me. 1 6 Link to post Share on other sites
Rockwood Posted Saturday at 12:28 PM Share Posted Saturday at 12:28 PM The low contrast between the fossil and the matrix does make it a bit hard to tell, but fenestrate bryozoan does seem the right call. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Tidgy's Dad Posted Saturday at 01:06 PM Share Posted Saturday at 01:06 PM Definitely a fenetrate bryozoan, probably the genus Fenestella itself as several species are common in the Early Carboniferous limestone of Ireland. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites
minnbuckeye Posted Saturday at 03:45 PM Share Posted Saturday at 03:45 PM When I enlarge the image, I do not see the windows and connecting processes in the questioned specimen. This one below clearly has the proper anatomy. Which is why I think/ thought bivalve like this one. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
minnbuckeye Posted Saturday at 03:47 PM Share Posted Saturday at 03:47 PM Actually, now that I go back, I can see visible windows in certain areas. I was wrong!!! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Rockwood Posted Saturday at 04:13 PM Share Posted Saturday at 04:13 PM It took me a while to decide. I agree that the preservation makes it look not quite right when zoomed in. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
