Weird Brach

This brach is really odd. Possibly a very weathered (pre-burial) Parazyga hirsuta?

Where are Paradoxides found?

You will see that fossils of closely related Paradoxides species have been found in such now-disparate locations as Eastern Canada, Sweden, Wales, the Czech Republic and Morocco.

 

 

You give us no clue to the geological formation this brachiopod has  come from. Paradoxides for your location doesn't help either.

Penn Dixie is included in the tags, which would mean the location is in the vicinity of Buffalo, New York. I believe that the fossils at Penn Dixie are from the Moscow Formation but one more familiar with that area could provide a more confident answer.

I think brachiopod is speculative enough here. Forget species. Perhaps a reworked steinkern ? 

[minnbuckeye]

missed the tag! My apologies.

Sorry about the missing location. I rushed this post. The brachiopod is from the Smoke creek trilobite beds, which are Moscow Fm.
