Brachiopods

Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Brachiopoda Class: Rhynchonellata Order: Spiriferida Two large specimens, appear to be different species, with both valves preserved and with one specimen having two smaller brachiopods attached to the brachial valve. The smaller specimen attached to the valve has similar appearance to the specimens it is attached too, while the other specimen attached to the brachial valve appears to have a different morphology. The two large specimens have prominent sulcus and a slight fold. Ribs are medium and prominent. Anterior margin is rounded and posterior margin is rounded/triangular in appearance. The smallest specimen attached to the larger brachiopod also has a visible sulcus with medium ribs while the larger specimen attached is the brachial valve and half of the valve is chipped away. Faint growth lines are visible on the anterior margin that is also slightly concave.
