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.
That’s a rock with a shell in the middle
