Nice find Matt! Having 2 different types of brachiopods in the same rock is very cool! Looks like they are in good shape too! :thumbsu:

Matthew, I'm amazed by what you continue to find in that creek.  Breaking open a rock and finding two very nice - and different - brachs in such great shape!!  What a deal.

That's some creek you have. Lovely finds. I am always amazed at what lovely, delicate fossils sometime survive rock splitting.
