historianmichael Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 (edited) About 10 days ago @Jeffrey P and I collected at an exposure near his house that is full of Lower Devonian brachiopods. I was amazed by the diversity of brachiopods at the site. But what makes this site so special also makes it tough to identify everything. I did my best to identify many of my finds, but I am a bit stumped on several others. A lot of the sketches in Linsley's plates are starting to look alike. I could really use some help, even if it is a guess on the family or genus. Please let me know what you think. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you! #1- Spirinella modesta? #2 #3- Cyrtina varia? #4 #5- Nucleospira ventricosa? #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 #11 #12- Cloudella stewarti? #13 #14 #15- juvenile Meristella laevis?

Jeffrey P Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Good specimens Michael. It would take me some time to properly ID those. I'll get to it when I can. Still haven't ID'd all of my own finds from there yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like these are new even to you. It is a great site! Thank you so much for showing it to me!

Tidgy's Dad Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 I'm just beginning with these and I haven't read up on all of the species found in the Glenerie yet, but : 1. The smallest one at least is Spirinella modesta. Not sure about the larger one. 3. Pretty sure that is Cyrtina rostrata. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend.
