Can someone help me with this fossil ID?

Hello guys,

I'm Bryan, student of Biology at Federal University of Fronteira Sul, campus Realeza (Paraná State) in Brazil, and we were collecting some fossils in Ponta Grossa. Ponta Grossa has a devonian invertebrate fauna.

I collected this fossil when we did a field trip and we got some stuff in an outcrop near the city of Ponta Grossa in a train line. I'm sending some pics. post-19806-0-30416600-1463679799_thumb.jpgpost-19806-0-79424800-1463679838_thumb.jpg

This looks to be a lingulid brachiopod.

Not sure of the species in your area, but compare it to Lingula punctata, from the Middle Devonian Moscow Formation, Central New York.

Guys, thanks a lot. :P

Y'all are the best!

I also thought if it would be a brachiopod, but I wasn't sure, so I asked :P

Thanks a lot.
