BALANIDAE LEACH, 1817

FIG. 32

A very small mold and cast appear to represent a small, short, possibly smooth-sided barnacle. It is not well enough preserved to identify beyond family level. The family goes back to the Cambrian ( Collins and Rudkin 1981) and they are widespread in marine and marginal marine environments.
