Description: | One fairly well preserved valve from an Amphistrophia sp. brachiopod (23mm x 16mm x 2mm). It is dark grey in colour. The valve is incomplete with the corner of the hinge line broken off. The hinge line is very straight (19mm). The inside of the valve is smooth with no key features because it is heavily weathered. The outer surface of the valve displays growth lines and a spotted colouration which may be due to weathering. This is Silurian, dating at c425my and was collected from the Wrens Nest, Dudley, West Midlands. AR
