3 weeks, 4 days agoJennifer Bauer posted an image in the group Virginia and West Virginia Fossil Collecting from the myFOSSIL appKind of a bad photo but check it out @nathan-newell. Found while unpacking and cleaning out some papers. Very timely.
This is from my field camp. We spent about two weeks in the area mapping before heading out west!

Very cool, thanks for sharing! I like how they include the different orogenies.

Hi there! The photo seems a little out of focus on my end. Could it be a strophominid brachiopod?
-
it could be a strophomenid, i never thought of that, i’ll look more into it. Thank you for the suggestion.
-
Hi, @joseph-scott – I’m tentatively agreeing with @mackenzie-smith – if you could upload a more in focus image we could probably narrow down the taxonomy a bit further! I’ll also tag in @nathan-newell who is a local expert and may have some insight on the local fauna that will help!!
-
I’d agree with @mackenzie-smith and @jbauer. I’ve found a few Leptaena brachiopods in West Virginia, so I’d bet that’s what this is.

#jbauer note the head at top and the plate on side and long bill with serrated edge to the left and down.

Hi, @heath-carroll – not sure what you are referring to? The shape of the rock? I think it’s just a chunk of limestone with a brachiopod in it.
