From the album: Missouri Brachiopods
Hello! Here is an image of the famous Winterset Limestone Composita composite layer! I love how they get geo-itized and get filled with calcite crystallization. It adds and shows a unique story. I also have found a brachiopod with a lophophore in this layer, which I will post later. Edit: Correction on the lophophore, it is most likely the brachidium as noted by collector.- 3 comments

Composita with Brachium preserved from the Winterset ls Composita Layer
Samurai posted a gallery image in Brachiopods
From the album: Missouri Brachiopods
This Composita specimen was unique and stunning as it has some internal preservation. Sadly the entire brachium isn't complete but it is still amazing to see it here regardless. This was collected several years ago from the Winterset ls "Composita layer" from the Dennis formation. I always theorized these beds were lenticular as the other side of the road does not contain or at least have them exposed. Below is a wider image with some of the internal crystallization in the surrounding Composita.-

From the album: Brachiopoda
16mm. long. Naco Formation, Pennsylvanian. Location: Payton in Gila County, Arizona, USA. Thanks to my Secret Santa Crusty Crab. -
Hello all I haven't posted in a while. I haven't really been able to get out much for a while, but recently I did find a few (i believe) Composita lying on top the ground just off the road near Albuquerque. Some were complete and some eroded. They seem to be filled with crystals. One in the matrix. I also wanted to show you guys this other fossil in a matrix. A friend was showing me some rocks around her yard when she show me this one. At first I thought it was just a rock with some white inclusions. She liked the rock, but did not know there was a fossil in it.! We were pleasantly surprised.

I found this strange Composita subtilita at the Paleo Site bear Kohls Ranch, Arizona. It is from the Middle Pennsylvanian Naco Formation. Does anyone know what’s going on with the strange pattern? Flip side I also should be able to provide slightly higher quality photos if needed, I just reduced the quality to be able to post several PS-I wasn’t sure if I should post this here since I have an ID, so please move it if it shouldn’t be

Hi all, I just need help on confirming this specimen. I think it is a composita (brachiopod) rather than a schizodus (bivalve). There is a depression on the shell's surface going down the middle, but it is hard to see. Thanks again! This was found in NE Kansas.
