emmag15 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) Unknown brachiopod, looking for an ID. Any & all help is appreciated! Edited February 21, 2019 by emmag15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Hello, and Welcome to the Forum. Where was this found? Can we get a photo of the other side of the brachiopod? Also, a profile view might be helpful. Nevermind on the first request for photos. I see they are two different photos.

The top photo is one side and the bottom photo is the other side of the fossil. Hope this helps, I'll upload a profile view in a minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoast Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Possibly Atrypa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Where about in New York. There are many ages of rocks exposed, and it would be helpful to know what town or county it was found in. I agree possibly Atrypa, was just waiting on location confirmation.

Fossildude19 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 So, Anticosti Island is actually part of Quebec, Canada, ... and looks like the sediments are from the Late Ordovician to the Early Silurian in age. I'm out of my depth at this point. Enlarged and contrasted some of your pictures: Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."
