Description: | Well preserved complete fossil brachiopod of Leptaena depressa measuring (28mm x 21mm x 16mm) with a fine grained light brown micrite matrix cemented to the front edge. There are 7mm bryozoan fossils (Fenestella sp?) preserved on the brachiopods surface. Growth lines and ribs are clearly defined, but one wing has been broken off from the hinge line. A number 12 written on the underside in black ink indicates that this specimen was collected from Steven Birchs locality 12 at the Wrens Nest, Dudley (GR SO 9380 9190) in the Coalbrookdale Formation.
