Just looking through my old collection of partial Silurian (Wenlock Series) UK trilobites. With this piece in particular, as I'm trying to find a close match to the possible bivalve nestled next to the partial cephalon. So far my best guess would be Goniophora cymbaeformis if the fossil is a bivalve. Looking at a description from my British Fossils Palaeozoic hand book. Any and all suggestions are most welcome, I can't prep the shell any further than what you can see I'm afraid.

Tough call to id this fossil, as when held in my hand and read the geology of the find on the additional note I truly thought it was a Trilobite. But reading the species name on the note I soon realised the fossil has been labelled as a Brachiopod. There is quite a risk if I prep any further to reveal more of the fossil. So do I take the description as face value and see no reason to think the fossil is anything else but what has been written. Or add a question mark? Label note : Cyrtia exporrecta, Wenlock Shales, Usk, Monmouthshire, UK.
