Description: | A complete fossil brachiopod of Leptaena depressa measuring (29mm x 20mm x 17mm) covered by a significant amount of fine grained light brown micrite matrix cement. The surface of the fossil has a 4mm bryozoan (Fenestella sp.?) on the convex valve near the front edge. The amount of matrix obscures much of the detail, and has many dark spots across the surface of the specimen. This fossil was collected from the Coalbrookdale Formation. CB
