That’s from a type of shell we have here rather than a bryozoan (though we do find bryozoa now and then on bones and things) EDIT: bad eyes, there is a bryozoan if you zoom in. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He even has a song about it Anyways, I suggest we step away from this rather silly discussion and go back to the best of the best: fossils!

I didn’t see it but there is a bryozoan on there very small. Sorry for my bad eyes, I’ll go edit my post. It’s on a chesacardium whose shell has many confusing bits that people get stuck on. 1 “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Rockhound Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 Good catch! My Ordovician eyes totally missed the bryozoan - the ones I am used to look like this (Disclaimer: photo not my own) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Rockhound Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 Another interesting thing about the fossil is that it is composed of something that looks and feels very similar to the jasper I find in Tennessee. Is jasper common in the Calvert Cliffs area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something tells me it may be as close as you're going to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
