Devonian shell


Rockwood

Recommended Posts

Another shoreline glacial find. Most likely lower Devonian marine delta related.

The first shot shows part with scale, and inverted counterpart to the left. The last shot is of the under side of the fractured section in the photo before it.

Some type of spiriferid, I think. 

Hard to say - they look like they were internal steinkerns. .

The break that is nearly at the center of the second and third photos is the same break. Notice how in the first photo the would be steinkern looking area does not stand proud of that break. It's as if it were an external feature.

If there is a beak then it's a steinkern of a spiriferid for sure. Could have been a Mediospirifer or Spiniocyrtina, IMHO.
