Description: | A complete poorly preserved fossil brachiopod called Sphaerirynchia wilsoni (22mm x 17mm x 17mm). It is dark grey in colour but is covered in a pale brown fine grained sediment. Only a few ribs are visible because most are hidden underneath the matrix. There a few patches of red iron oxide. On the side of the specimen written in black ink is the number 11. This indicates that this was collected from Steven Birchs locality 11 (grid ref SO 9380 9160). This was from the Coalbrookdale Formation. This is Silurian dating at c425my and was collected from the Wrens Nest, Dudley, West Midlands. AR
