Re: paleonet Ptilodictya scalpellum Lonsdale

[joseph00@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi Doug, 
  It's still scalpellum, but has been reassigned to Stictopora - see:

Snell, J. F. 2004. Bryozoa from the Much Wenlock Limestone (Silurian)
Formation of the West Midlands and Welsh Borderland. Monograph of the
Palaeontographical Society (London), 621.

Cheers, 
Joe
