Correct, @mackenzie-smith

This is another one of my crazy-small brachiopods. It’s wild how such a small vulnerable-looking fossil can be preserved for hundreds of millions of years. The coin is a Fruity Pebbles dinosaur coin, which is about the same size as a silver dollar. #fossil

Shumardella obsolescens per the Paleobiology Database quick search. Rhynchonellid brachiopod from the Mississippian of Missouri. I have two specimens and they are very worn, I hardly recognized them at first glance. #fossil

This is an interesting little brachiopod I found near Capon Lake, WV. I’m wondering what the holes all over the shell are. Maybe they’re actually bryozoans covering the shell? Or maybe they’re from a predator trying to dig into the shell? 🤔 #fossil
-
OHHHHH good guesses but I think I know the answer! Even better – punctae! These are little holes and peaks in the brachiopods shell that can create very complex geometric mesh patterns. I couldn’t find any good links quickly, all super technical stuff online. Can anyone second this idea?
-
I think I’ve seen something about punctate structure in some of Art Boucot’s notes and I agree with Jen.
-
@jbauer @mackenzie-smith Oh cool! I’ll look into punctae some more. Thanks!
-
Let us know if you get paywalled and we can try to help out with getting papers you may want. I haven’t gotten to look into it much more but it is a really fascinating aspect of morphology.
-
Awesome, thanks! My old copy of Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology didn’t have much on it, so I’ll have to scrounge around.
