Description: | A Palaeopecten sp. bivalve, which is poorly preserved and measures (34mm x 11mm x 5mm). The surface of the fossil has a significant covering of a pale brown micrite matrix obscuring much detail. The specimen is preserved in a pale brown matrix slab (55mm x 41mm x 19mm). The bivalve displays ribs, growth lines and a wing from its ventral valve. The underside of the matrix has the number 12 in black ink which indicates this was collected from Steven Birchs locality 12 (GR SO 9380 9190). This specimen was from the Lower Quarried Limestone Formation and Coalbrookdale Formation, Silurian in age and dates at c425my. Collected from the Wrens Nest, Dudley, West Midlands during November 2001. CB
