Dear Researchers,
Anybody knows what is this microscopic fossil from the Middle to Upper Permian limestone strata?
I found it from the Middle to Upper Permian limestone strata in Julfa NW Iran country. This microfossil extracted form sequences that belong to the Stratigraphy and bioevent studies of the Guadalupian -Lopingian boundary in Sanandaj-Sirjan Zone and northwest of Iran project. Perhaps Identifying it, will be beneficial for the aim of the project.
Sincerely,
Soheil.
Hi,
this the "stem" of the bryozoan genus Archimedes, the genus was called this due to its resemblance to Archimedes' screw.
Regards,
Kevin
Kevin Stevens Wow, many thanks for your answer, but I have another question.
According to this stem, can we identify this micro-fossil as a species of genus Archimedes?
Sincerely,
Soheil.
Yes, this specimen does definitely belong to the genus Archimedes, but I do not know how to differentiate the species or if this would even be possible with only this fragment.
