Dave J Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Hi. I was wondering if anyone had any information on this shell I found today at the Wrens Nest, Dudley, Uk. I've found many brachiopods there, but never a shell like this. It seems to bend at almost a 90° angle at its outer edge. I'm not sure if the pictures clearly show this. If it originally had one, the other half of the shell is missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Looks like Leptaena sp. Not sure of the species found there, though. Found this PDF. Leptaena is listed on it. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 IPFOTM -- MAY - 2024 _________________________________________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

Leptaena rhomboidalis: That's amazing, thank you very much for showing me those. They do look very similar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
