Description: | An Orthoceras sp. orthocerid measuring (138mm x 38mm x 20mm). The surface of the fossil is significantly covered by a pale grey micrite matrix. The crushed end of the specimen is broken flat and the other is rounded. In areas less covered by matrix, growth lines and ridges can be seen along its length. The specimen has been fractured into three segments which have been repaired by brown resin. On the sides of the specimen smaller brachiopod, bryozoa and coral fossils are cemented. Collected from the Wrens Nest, Dudley, West Midlands. CB
