Shed find rhynchonellid, Cretaceous UK

[TqB]

Fossil hunting in the shed like many of us - I thought I'd lost this nice globular rhynchonellid in a house move years ago.

 

From the top Campanian/bottom Maastrichtian Chalk of Norfolk, UK.

I think it's Cretirhynchia sp.

That's a beauty. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice!

Great specimen, Tarquin!

Glad it wasn't lost in a move!  

Thanks for showing it.

Nice! 

The relatively weak ribbing puts me in mind of Homaletarhynchia limbata. ( which used to be Cretirhynchia limbata).

Very pretty!

Thank you, everyone!

 

@Tidgy's Dad I was hoping you'd comment, Adam.  I see that Cretirhynchia is a bit of a dustbin for some late Cretaceous rhynchonellids and the actual classification is complicated! Homaletarhynchia looks a good bet.
