Fossildude19 Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Brian, This looks a bit like an Athyridida to me. @TqB ? Nice example. Please note, the best views for brachiopod ID are from directly above the fossil, with the "beak" pointing upwards. Straight on to the hinge is a good one, also. I understand this may sometimes be hard to do, with the way these are prepped still in matrix. Similar to the views in this page from Linsley, 1984 - Devonian Paleontology of New York. These are helpful views for ID. 2 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 IPFOTM -- MAY - 2024 _________________________________________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

The Athyridida is the order of brachiopods - Athyrid is a layman's term meaning belonging to the Athyridida. 1 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 IPFOTM -- MAY - 2024 _________________________________________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

TqB Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 I agree with Tim. I wish we could find a species list for the Malahide Formation - I admit I haven't looked that hard though. 1 1 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
