Prasopora simulatrix (bryozoan)?

Ordovician-Devonian from Kentucky.

@a-trilobite take a look at this if you would.

These look exactly like a P. Simulatrix, but I don’t understand a few things about bryozoans. If they’re made out of microscopic organisms, how do they know to form shapes and exoskeletons that you see across the species? And how do they know to form such complex structures like their exoskeletons when they’re microscopic, or do they form from natural processes? You’re probably not a bryozoan expert but I was just thinking after seeing your fossils.

Thank you again @a-trilobite. You assisted in find some more information about them. P. Simulatrix

(Prasopora Simulatrix ulrich)
Bryozoans are some of the most common fossils found in the Upper Ordovician deposits of the Kentucky Bluegrass. Prasopora falesi, closely related to P. simulatrix Ulrich, of the Monticuliporidae family is found only in Kentucky in rocks of Kirkfieldian and Shermanian.

The hemispherical growth habit of P. falesi has lead to its more colloquial name the “gumdrop bryozoan” OR “chocolate drop” to local fossil collectors.

The paleoecology of Prasopora falesi, a Late Ordovician trepostome bryozoan, has not been thoroughly investigated.

Interesting, I hope someone will look into that eventually!
