We can narrow the age down to Eifelian.
I’m not too sure on the classification. Have you ever made a latex cast? It might be something you look into. It’s not *horribly* difficult. and even if you make a bad one you could still probably figure out what this is a bit better than as it stands. What made you say brachiopod?
I really struggled with photographing this one. It was difficult to get good angles that would show its shape well. I think in person the shape looks more “brachiopody”, but I think you’re right in that I need to make a cast of it. Thanks for the suggestion!
Yeah, that is a fair guess! It’s just so hard to tell. Those fine growth lines could be mollusk-y too! Too many shellies! Hopefully making a cast would give you a better idea. Maybe there is a feature we can’t quite pick up on.
