ID help, Fish Scales? or Plant material?

Hi,

 

Another ID help question, I wasn't sure if these might be fish scales or plant fossils or something else. These are from Missouri, not sure of the age or more precise location unfortunately.

Neither! This seems to be a fenestrate bryozoan. :)

Thank you for the ID! That's interesting! I did not know that bryozoans could exist in this fenestrate form. I have only seen the "gumdrop" bryozoans before.

Bryozoans are incredibly interesting organisms with a lot of variety. They always astound me in the field when I encounter them. :)
