Devonian trip

[aek]

The other day I went on a annual trip to a quarry in Iowa. Givetian age rocks. Finds were few this time around, for me at least. This was my best find, although not perfect or complete, still a nice example. It was tricky to prep as I didn't want to destroy the reddish- mauve brachiopod contrasting nicely with the caramel colored E. noorwoodensis. Thanks for looking!

Nice one! I had another trip planned over the weekend, but I'm very much looking forward to finally visiting this site next year.

Yes, the two contrasting shapes and colours are interesting.
