North Carolina Bryozoan Colony Identification

Bryozoan Colony is a realistic North Carolina fossil profile built around lace-like or twiggy colonial filter feeder common in marine limestone. In this state, success usually comes from learning roadcuts through limestone and shale, coal spoils, and stream gravels, then timing runoff, reservoir drawdown, surf cuts, or road work that exposes fresh fossil-bearing rock instead of hunting blindly.
