2.4" Fossil Bryozoan Colony - Indiana
This is a really cool, 2.4" wide fossil bryozoan colony from the Richmond Formation of Oldenburg, Indiana. It has been nicely prepped free of the surrounding shale.
Bryozoans are microscopic aquatic invertebrates that live in colonies, forming skeletal structures similar to corals. Each skeletal structure has a form unique to each particular species. The individual byrozoans forming these colonies are filter feeders called zooids, straining nutrients from the surrounding water.
