great one… love this.
That’s a beauty. Where was is collected?
@jbauer is this a brachiopod?
We collected it in Woodbury, Tn
Definitely a brachiopod! Looks early Paleozoic to me!
Rafinesquina maybe? Not entirely sure on that, looks very cool though!!
I agree with @cassie-pendry. It’s definitely a brachiopod (lamp shell) and it’s in the order Strophomenida. That half-oval shape with thin ridges is typical for that group.
@meredith-jones we can minimally update your classification to be Kingdom Animalia > Phylum Brachiopoda > Class Strophomenata > Order Strophomenida
Did we decide that this may be Strophomena? Here is the pbdb data: https://paleobiodb.org/classic/basicTaxonInfo?taxon_no=28017 you can use the taxon wizard and search ‘Strophomena’ to get the higher classification filled in!
