Hi @steven-wells, would you like to improve the quality of this specimen by adding more taxonomic and geological information? Macrostrat.org is a good place to start if you need help pinpointing the age of this fossil.
-
Thank you
-
Some pictures with a scale bar would also improve this! It’d be really cool if we could get it up to research grade.
-
I can “draw” a scale bar based on the graphpaper essentially 1 square = 1 cm in this case.
-
Perfect! That works for me.

I want to learn more about what happens under the shell. What kind of bone structure did they have and how did they eat #fossil
-
These are all invertebrates so they don’t have bones. But for feeding the brachiopod (left) has a filter feeding structure called a lophophore. The gastropod (snail) (middle) has a structure called a radula. In herbivorous species it is used to scrape algae but in carnivorous species it is used to drill through bivalves and slurp up their insides. I think it’s a horn coral on the right, would have tentacles and sting prey like an annemonie. There might also be the possibility of photosynthetic algae living inside like modern corals but that is hard to prove with fossils.

Thanks so much!

hey if you can add some information about the identification we can add it to the gallery! It’s ok if you don’t know the species, family or even just order is enough. Thanks for all your submissions!
