Description: | A fairly well preserved complete fossil brachiopod of Eospirifer sp. (30mm x 22mm x 15mm). Between the ribs and on the surface there is a pale brown fine grained matrix. There are secondary bryozoa on the outer surface. The one end of the specimen appears to have been flattened slightly. The brachial valve has approximately half of the ribs missing, leaving a grey calcitic surface (26mm x 9mm). This specimen is from the Much Wenlock Limestone Formation, Nodular Member. This is Silurian in age and dates at c425my. This specimen was collected from the Wrens Nest, Dudley, West Midlands. AR
