Hi @Giovany-Figueroa! If you know where this was found, you can use https://macrostrat.org to figure out what age it is! This looks almost like the outside of an ammonite. More photos of different angles, and using a scale in your photos would be very useful

Ok thanks i going to add more picture

Platystrophia of North America have been reassigned to Vinlandostrophia : http://www.eap.ee/public/Estonian_Journal_of_Earth_Sciences/2007/issue_1/earth_2007_1_3.pdf
A difficult switch for many of us. I think these are largely Ordovician forms but may be a good reference nonetheless: https://www.uky.edu/KGS/fossils/fossil-month-07-2018-vinlandostropia.php

Greetings @jbauer! Thank you greatly for the correction and the informative links!!! From your assessment, would you say the specimen here is an external mold of the pedicle vavle of a Vinlandostrophia species?
-
Not a problem! Many of us still agonize over this name change but we should stay up to date – as much as we can – with taxonomy. Yes, I completely agree with you. It’s difficult to further identify it to a species level because we are lacking diagnostic views!!
-
Fantastic! And I am sure dealing with taxonomic changes is quite the headache. And how could I go about providing a diagnostic view? There is a great little USB microscope I’ve been considering ordering. A friend of mine and I used it to magnify a trilobite that was 4 mm long and it brought into magnificent to detail.
-
Oh wow! That’s so fun! I think with this one we are out of luck. The views would be along the commissure where the two valves meet, along the hinge line, and then a full view of both valves. Scroll down this page to see an example:…[Read more]

Greetings @jbauer! Thank you again for the link! Also, here is the microscope I was talking about if anyone is interested:

Hi, @Matthew-Gramling! Did you mean to post this as an eMuseum specimen? Or just post it to the group?
-
Just to the group for these specimens.

Hi, @Dmitry-Borodin! If you would like to improve this specimen, we can work together on it. For example, we would need to figure out how old this is and identify it a little further.
Hi, @samantha-ocon ! Found in Cretaceous nodules of the Republic of Adygea
Perfect! Can you fill that out in the specimen entry under geochronology? I cannot enter this information.
Thank you, @Dmitry-Borodin. @JBauer might be able to help us with ID.
Hi, @samantha-ocon & @dmitry-borodin – Sadly, my Mesozoic brachiopod knowledge is pretty lacking. I can certainly say you can update the taxonomy to be Kingdom Animalia > Phylum Brachiopoda > Class Rhynchonellata.
@samantha-ocon , @jbauer . Thank you for your help in defining it!
Thank you so much for being so responsive, @Dmitry-Borodin. My next advice on making this specimen more useful for researchers is adding more photos from different angles, with a scale.
Holy crap I believe I found something almost identical to that in South Dakota!
According to you tube videos I have also found tons of Stone Age tools. Stay tuned!
