The label (photo 3) is presumably a copy of a previous one where they couldn't read "Smithia pengellyi", its original name. "Penjellyi" should have a "g" and there's no record of "Snighia" anywhere! And they couldn't spell Paignton… (a well known resort on the S. Devonshire coast). It was assigned to Haplothecia by Scrutton 1967, "Marisastridae (rugosa) from S. E. Devonshire, England." Now that is something beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sort of covet one of the old table tops inlaid with corals and other Devonian (and Carboniferous) "marbles' but, apart from unavailability, it would be a tad expensive! Like this museum one. 4 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
