Bryozoans -
Evactinopora radiata
Unique and
unusual are these well prepared specimens of Bryozoa. They may, at first glance,
look similar to starfish but these small "moss animals" are aquatic
creatures living in colonies of interconnected individuals. The specimens
offered here are Mississippian in age and come from the Glen Fern Formation in
Jefferson County, Missouri. The rays (or arms) range from 4 to 8 per specimen.
(To date I have not found an explanation for the differences in the number of
rays.) The light color Bryozoans contrast nicely with the slightly reddish brown
of the matrix material. Several of the specimens have a coral as
well. Please order by letter designation shown in the photo. Please note that
our prices for these exquisite specimens are considerably less than other
dealers.
