Eifelian brachiopods from Poland

[Misha]

Hello everyone,

I recently received two pieces of brachiopod fossils from Poland, both come from the Eifelian in Grzegorzowice.

The first piece contains a number of small productids, I am not sure about the IDs but they do look quite similar to Poloniproductus varians that I have seen come from that area so I am wondering if that is what they are.

And the next brachiopod is some kind of Athyrid? I wasn't able to find any similar species from this location.

I would appreciate any help with identifying these,

Thank you for looking!

Yes, it's Poloniproductus varians. I have some about somewhere. Very nice grouping. 

The athyrid is very interesting and beautiful.

Anoplotheca is the closest I can get, but I rather doubt it is..................

Thank you for confirming the ID, I love the little productids, I find Devonian productids really interesting.

That Athyrid is interesting and your suggestion does look somewhat similar, I think I'll have to do a bit more research to see if I can figure it out.

I believe I found the Identification for the second brachiopod, I was looking through different search results for this area and time, eventually stumbling upon this image:

On the website this was labelled as Eoreticularia aviceps and after looking up this species it looks correct to me,  if it is then I guess my initial assumption about it being an athyrid is incorrect, but still a very interesting and unique species.

 

Edit: The species E. eifeliensis is also listed by some websites as coming from here and looks quite similar. I'm not sure which this one belongs to
