It was my birthday this week and MrsR got me this stunning and rare Carboniferous Muirhouse / Granton Fossilised Shrimp Bed, Edinburgh, Scotland. Gorgeous example that has some exceptional Crangnopsis specimens preserved upon it. Lower Carboniferous, some 359 to 323 million years ago. I think it worthwhile posting on the forum it a beauty. Thanks for looking.

Hi All Fairly new to this. I went fossil hunting with my boy on a beach known for carboniferous fossils. We found a ton of brachiopod specimens but also found this. It may be another brachiopod specimen as there is also a brach mold fossil on the other side. But wondered if it might be something different? If its even a fossil at all.
