Tidgy's Dad Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Seems to be a collection of Mesozoic brachiopods of several different species, but as the Mesozoic is dominated by the two orders you have here, the Rhynchonellida and the Terebratulida, we have a greater problem with id than even the usual, as without a pretty good idea of provenance, it's really extremely difficult, if not impossible, to provide a more accurate name. You might get lucky with the first ones, as the preservation is rather unusual, a pale shell material and a darker brown internal mold, someone more local may recognize them. The more elongated ones are indeed Oblongarcula oblonga, the new name for what was known as Terebratella oblonga. Nice. The next one down could possibly be a species of Cretirhynchia, but I'm really starting to guess at this point. The sort of reddish ones could be a species of the genus Terebratula itself, but without a locality or a look at the internal loop lophophore supports it's impossible to know. Likewise, the others could be a number of things. Your last photo seems to show an echinoid spine, a little echinoid and the tooth of something, but no idea what kinds. 1 Life's Good!
