ClearLake Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 #5 and 6 are Tropidoleptus I believe. This book is easily available online and will go a long way in identifying many of your finds. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 #1 = Ambocoelia umbonata #2 and 3 may be Pustulatia pustulosa # 4 ? #5 #6 ? #s 7-12 Look like different types of spiriferids. Maybe Mucrospirifer mucronatus and Mediospirifer audaculus? #13 may be Devonchonetes coronatus or could also be Eoschuchertella arctostriata?? #14 is Tropidoleptus carinatus. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 IPFOTM -- MAY - 2024 _________________________________________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Tidgy's Dad Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 I'll take a look at these threads tomorrow. Looks like some nice finds but I'm off for some kip now. Nos da! Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 #1. Ambocoelia umbonata. #2-3. Pustulatia pustulosa #4. Dunno. It seems to have spine bases along the hinge line which would suggest a chonetid, but the rest of it looks more like a spiriferid. # 5-6 Very much like Tropidoleptus carinatus, but is the fold and sulcus usual? # 7-12, I agree with Tim, spiriferids, but with partials like this, it is necessary to see the interarea to help distinguish the species. # 13. Devonochonetes coronatus. I can see the spine bases along the anterior margin that Eoschuchertella doesn't have. #14. Tropidoleptus carinatus. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend.

SharkySarah Posted November 22, 2023 Author Share Posted November 22, 2023 @Tidgy's Dad and @Fossildude19 thank you both! May I ask what guide you learned from ? I have one but it doesn’t go into a lot of detail for brachiopods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 (edited) I can't ever seem to find a copy of Linsley. I use the forum itself, plus: New York.pdf Some of the names are a bit out of date. Edited November 22, 2023 by Tidgy's Dad Life's Good! Tortoise Friend.
