ID requested: Atrypid Brachiopods from Eifel region in Germany (Devonian)

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

 

I recently purchased a collection from a retired fossil collector.
Including in this collection was a box with Brachiopods from the Eifel region.
Unfortunately it is harder than expected to ID them all.

So here are the photo's of the 3rd batch of brachiopods in this collection, I think these might all be atrypids but I am not sure.

 

 

1) All the same species to my eye, I call them cheese grater brachiopods, could these be Spinatrypa curvirostra?

2) Spinatrypa occidentalis?

Next are some various brachiopods (not all are atrypids)

 

8 & 9) Brachiopods from last post which I resorted to verify their ID.
No atrypids, but probably the orthids Schizophoria schnuri?

10) Atrypa or Spinatrypa?
Perhaps Atrypa reticularis?

I don't really know much about the atrypids from Germany, I'm afraid. :(
