Max-fossils Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Hey everyone, Here is one of my first fossils. My grandparents bought it for me quite a few years ago. The only info I have is this: Spirifer (no species?), found in the Holte de Bison (Belgium). I never heard of that location, and there are no results whatsoever about that location on Google... Do you know what species it is? And maybe you have an idea of where it could have been found (+ age)? Best regards, Max Max Derème "I feel an echo of the lightning each time I find a fossil.

belemniten Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Nice brachiopod Max ! I think your specimen was found near Barvaux in Belgium ! You may know that this is a great location for big brachiopods (devonian). I am not an expert regarding brachiopods but your specimen shoud be Cyrtospirifer verneuil .... Lets see what others say ! Hope i could help a bit 1 Many greetings from Germany ! Have a great time with many fossils Regards Sebastian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope i could help a bit Thanks so much for all the info! By making a quick Google search, I agree with your ID of C. verneuilli. And no, I didn't know Barvaux, but it seems like a great location!
