Here is an interesting plate of fossils from the Mississippian of Missouri. There are two fine examples of Evactinopora, a star-shaped bryozoan, and solitary coral, and a brachiopod on the slab. The fossils are quite 3-dimensional and exhibit fine detail. The points on the bryozoans are easily seen - one is six-pointed, the other has five. The fossils have good color and contrast and are nicely positioned on the plate of maroon-colored limestone. This is a fine multiple example of this strange bryozoan and other fossils from the Fern Glen Formation.
