Name:
Evactinopora radiata, Brachiopod Age: Mississippian Formation: Fern Glen Formation Location: Jefferson County, Missouri Size: Plate is 2.5" X 3.0"
Here is an interesting plate of fossils from the Mississippian of Missouri. There a fine example of Evactinopora, a star-shaped bryozoan, and and a nice brachiopod on the slab. The fossils are quite 3-dimensional and exhibit fine detail. The points on the bryozoan are easily seen - it is six-pointed. The fossils have good color and contrast and are nicely positioned on the plate of maroon-colored limestone. This is a very good example of this strange bryozoan and brachiopod from the Fern Glen Formation.
