1.3" Cryptostome Bryozoan Fossil - Texas

This is a really cool, fossil bryozoan colony from the Road Canyon Formation of Texas. It has been nicely prepared to remove much of the surrounding rock from the fossil.

This specimen is mounted to an acrylic display stand via mineral tack.

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 fileter feeders called zooids, straining nutrients from the surrounding water.
