Description: | A well preserved complete circoconarida Cornulites sepularius measuring (78mm x 26mm). The specimen narrows towards a flat (broken) base forming a conical shape, with well defined horzontal growth lines along the length of the fossil. The specimen is significantly covered in a pale brown micrite cement containing crinoid stem sections. The widest end (top) has been crushed and fractured revealing an internal dark grey, fine grained crystalline structure. The surface is covered in bryozoans up to 11mm. This specimen was from the Silurian Much Wenlock Limestone Formation, Nodular Member which is approximately 425my. The surface has an undulating surface possibly due to secondary organic bore holes. The base has been broken and repaired with light brown resin. CB
