love this hash plate!!!

 

There's an obviously pathological brachiopod at left, just above the missing bottom corner. It has an impressive bite scar. A couple of others may (or may not; it's hard to tell) have more subtle bite scars.

 

The species in this hash may be Glyptorthis insculpta. You can distinguish them from Cinncinnetina by the presence of small growth lines (presence or absence not visible in the photos, but they look a lot like my Glyptorthis to me).

 

Looks like you had a great hunt

Thanks for the comments and information, I always have a problem with brachiopod id’s. Lol

Beautiful fossil haul .....every single time you always manage to find some great trilobites and brachiopods. Those road cuts keep eroding and giving!

Thanks Al, I agree. I love collecting them and for every one Fossil I pick up I leave probably 40 or 50 that others would love.
