westcoast Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 They appear to be rhynchonellid brachiopods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Neat hash plate, Matthew! I agree the majority of brachiopods on the plate are Rhynchonellid brachiopods - possibly Camarotoechia tethys. There are also a few Spiriferid brachiopods, as well - maybe Mucrospirifer mucronatus. Thanks for showing us your latest treasure! Very cool. 2 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

fifbrindacier Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I agree with rynchonellae. "On ne voit bien que par le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."
