Description: | Part of a cephalon from Encrinurus punctatus measuring (10mm x 6mm x 1mm) which is dark grey in colour. Preserved in a pale brown/pale grey micrite matrix slab (46mm x 36mm x 17mm). The pale grey side of the matrix is less weathered. The matrix contains crinoid stem sections, bryozoa (Fistulipora sp.), stromatopora, along with numerous unidentified brachiopods. The cephalon is partially covered by the matrix. The side of the matrix slab reveals the crystalline structure of the fossils. On the base of the matrix the number 5 can be seen in black ink, which indicates this was collected from Steven Birchs locality 5 (GR SO 9370 9205). This specimen was from the Much Wenlock Limestone Formation, Nodular Member. This was collected from the Wrens Nest, Dudley, West Midlands. CB
