Ordovician Brachiopod??

This was found near the Delaware River (western NJ/eastern PA)… from what I’ve researched online, it’s a brachiopod from the Ordovician, but not 100% sure of that.

 

Does anyone recognize this species?

Take a better picture with a ruler for size. Could be from the Paleozoic period, I think of Omniella meeki, but i' am no expert. Wait for answers from more knowledgeable members.

The Palaeozoic is not a period but an era.

These seem to be from the Ordovician Period as stated by the OP.

They are orthid brachiopods and @Denis Arcand might be right with Onniella meeki, though it is now Cincinnetina meeki.

Thank for correcting me wouldn't want to give false information. A beginner error:D

 

This is my first time trying to identify fossils in the Fossil ID section, I'm glad I wasn't too wrong. I'm going to change my labels to Cincinnati meeki
