Meet Harmeria scutulata!
We don't see this species often (or at all) these days. Registered (Norwegian) specimens are pretty much 50-100 years old, and we actually have no recent record of this species here in Norway as far as I know.

🌊 Phylum Friday: Bryozoa! 🌊
These small colonial organisms are usually found encrusting rocks or blending in with algae. However, many of the species found in New England are invasive, and have become a concern for intertidal and subtidal ecosystems as they encrust and out-compete native species.

Fossilized Bryozoan sea mats and some Crinoid discs. Sea mats are colonial invertebrates that leave behind calcareous skeletons that can look like lace or mesh. These particular fossilized ones are over 300 million years old.
