Brachiopod ID

[Misha]

Hello all,

I have some brachs in my collection that I have not identified yet, any insight would be great.

I believe at the bottom is a Devonian Mucrospirifer but I am not sure the other two look like some Jurassic ones I have seen.

Also if anyone knows any texts where I could get information about all kinds of brachiopods and especially Paleozoic ones I would love it if you shared it here as I really want to get to know these amazing animals better.

Thank you,

The bottom one could well be Mucrospirifer.

And the other two look like Middle Jurassic rhynchonellids, but without provenance or internal structure you're not going to get closer than that. 

Regarding some nice papers, PM will be sent. 

If you like brachiopods, you can't be all bad

Fine, let me introduce you!

Now you know each other.

"Erm, Mishee, I be bickieperd". 

That one's a bit inarticulate.
