JUAN EMMANUEL Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Hi, can anyone lead me on determining this species of brachiopod? This brachiopod originates from the Reynales Formation, Clinton Group of Hamilton, Ontario from the Niagara Escarpment. A name I found for this shell is Stricklandia canadensis when I was reading a document about the Escarpment, though when I went to the fossiilid.info and the fossilworks websites there is no mention of the species. I began to think this could be a Stricklandia lens. The shell in the centre is approximately 4 cm long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Maybe some species of Pentamerus sp.?

Tidgy's Dad Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 It's a nice specimen but I don't have access to the papers that would help us with this, particularly those on Striclandia canadensis, Pentameroides sp, maybe?

Now that I look at the list of brachiopods that can be found in the Reynales Formation of the Niagara Escarpment in Hamilton, there are Pentameroides subrectus found not far off at nearby Albion Falls. I wonder what sort of valve that shell is in the middle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
