Did you find the brachiopod like that? It looks like its already been prepped! Absolutely incredible! :wub:

Every single fossil you see is a miracle set in stone, and should be treated as such.

most of it was like that, it came out of a nodule, I just made a little prepping of the matrix.

Beautiful finds! I'm drooling over the Crinoid, large gonaitites, and, of course, that lovely brach. Athyris sp.?

One last question: being in Belgium, did you find any of these?

I think it is Athyris sp. , put I sent the picture to a friend for propper determination.

Wow! Such beautiful specimens! I especially like the Goniatite. That's my favorite from the Penn. Finis Shale at Jacksboro, Texas
