Randomguy1 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) I’ve found a few of these neat brachiopods which look to be dictyoclostus sp. or maybe linoproductus. Thoughts? (Edit: oh yeah pretty certain they are from the Pennsylvanian of east Kansas) Edited January 30, 2019 by Randomguy1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy's Dad Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Another nice one. Looks not smooth enough to be Linoproductus which has quite straight, fine and close together ribs with only a few spines. Dictyoclostus seems a better bet, but there are lots of others and i don't know the faunal lists of the region. I'll know more when i come to studying them for "Adam's Pennsylvanian" in 2023 2 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FossilDAWG Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Might be Juresania, possibly J. nebrascensis. Spines arranged in rows along the growth lines is typical of the species. When the outer layer of the shell is exfoliated the spines can be marked by indentation that look like pores in the inner layers of the shell.

Don Yes, I thought Juresania or maybe Parajuresania nebrascensis, but thought this specimen looked a bit big. But you could be right. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend.
