terapoza Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Hi. Last month i've found this one on the Renmore Beach in Galway,Ireland. Early Carboniferous limestone from late Visean it's common all around Co Galway. I search for fossils in this county for 15 years and thats first fossil of this kind i got. Main specimens here are Siphonodendrons, Lithostrotions, Productids and many more brachiopods, corals, crinoids and gastropods. This one here I hope is bryozoan Dyscritella sp. I didn't look to my Mc Coy book yet but the species is described in Geological Survey of Ireland catalogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoast Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 That's a real nice specimen. Can't help with ID but as a fellow West of Ireland enthusiast I will watch this space... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy's Dad Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I think Dyscritella sp. is likely. Great find, it is beautiful. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TqB Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 It could be but telling one trepostome from another really needs high magnification and a specialist. Nice specimen. 1 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
