But where are my gastropod / brachiopod lovers? Anyways heres the tooth. Can people tell me what this tooth is? Cannot disclose location because it was purchased in a bin full of shark teeth.

Tidgy's Dad Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I agree too. Seen millions of 'em. I'm a brachiopdaphile. Here's the latest I've just prepped a 4.8 cm wide Rafinesquina alternata from the Upper Ordovician Whitewater Formation of Flatfork Creek, Ohio. It also has the inarticulate brachiopod Petrocrania scabiosa and a bryozoan Atactoporella schucherti ? as epibionts. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend.

Does it mean despiser of a group of lophotrochozoan animals that have hard "valves" on the upper and lower surfaces? Or are you a lover as rumored here on the Fossil Forum? Kidding aside, I put the first bid, late in the game, on the European auction for the Forum. IF the prize comes to me, I will turn around and offer a variety of brachiopods from multiple sites with thoughts of you, so watch closely!! I would expect a bid from a fellow brachiopodaphile!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he meant brachiopOdaphile. with the "O" but it does not mean despiser of anything. Just someone who loves brachiopods and not just Megalodon teeth and Dinosaurs, but also old things that have been around far longer (such as sea scorpions, trilobites, bivalves etc) and while not as violent of creatures, still were the king over all micro organisms in the Precambrian to current (except sea scorpions and trilobites. R.I.P may they rest at ease lol) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
