Recommended Posts

Please tell me what brachiopods are on this sample from Chortkiv district, Ternopil region of Ukraine? Devonian age. Large ones look like a spiriferid. Scale - 11 cm along the long dimension.
Thank you!

I have a piece from that same region... Mine has Tentaculitids also. I don't know the name of the brachiopods but the larger ones on your piece look like Strophomenids to me, but wait for the brachiopod experts to chime in. @Tidgy's Dad

My computer is broken and I'm using wife's phone to post and I can't see the pictures very well. 

But looks like Ordovician rhynchonellids and Strophomena sp. to me.

Are we certain it's Devonian?

Yes, it's early Devonian, Lochkovian, as I know...

Well, Strophomena did just about survive into the Lochkovian, so maybe.
