English Brachiopod Identification

[FossilsAnonymous]

Hello,

 

I just got a surprise package from my Aunt and Uncle who live in Somerset, England. It contained a nice amount of Brachiopods they found near them, at a place called Hill Farm. (May be meaningless to some, not for others.) I know definitively that these came out of the Blue Lias. What they are i'm not so certain. May anyone ID?

First Batch: (All look similar; I included back and front sides as well)

Second Batch: (Similar to some MD oysters

Thanks!

The first is a Rhynconellid. Can't say on the second one.

Thank you sir. Should I just label it as so?

Someone might be able to make a more definitive identification.

Either way, thanks.

The rhynchonellids look like Calcirhynchia calcarea to me. 

Not sure of the other one, but can we see them from other angles?

From here they look more like bits of the oyster Gryphaea .

I agree with all that - C. calcarea is often abundant in the Blue Lias around there.
