Description: | A complete poorly preserved fossil brachiopod called Sphaerirynchia wilsoni (21mm x 20mm x 17mm). It is pale grey in colour but is covered in a pale brown fine grained sediment. Only a few ribs are visible underneath the matrix. There a few patches of red iron oxide. There is one large bryozoan (12mm x 10mm) which has trapped a lot of sediment. This was from the Coalbrookdale Formation. This is Silurian dating at c425my and was collected from the Wrens Nest, Dudley, West Midlands. AR
