Description: | A poorly preserved Strophonella sp. brachiopod (49mm x 39mm x 6mm) within a pale brown fine grained shale (71mm x 72mm x 14mm). The brachiopod is covered in most places by the matrix. There is one patch of pink calcite where the growth lines can be seen (9mm x7mm). Most of the fossil is covered in a large patch of small black dots. The edges appear to have been broken off the brachiopod in places. On the bottom of the shale is the number 12 in black ink. This indicates that this specimen was collected from Steven Birchs locality 12 (grid ref SO 9380 9190). There is also the number 12/00 which suggests that this specimen was collected in December 2000. This specimen is from within the Coalbrookdale Formation. This is Silurian dating at c425my and was collected from the Wrens Nest, Dudley, West Midlands. AR
