brachiopod
Mississippian
Salem Formation
St. Louis County, Missouri
This is one of several types of brachiopds found at this locality.
All of the brachs have the same crystalline preservation.
This tooth was collected at the same locality where
the
shark tooth Symmorium sp.
was collected.
Thanks to Alan Goldstein for the identification
Viewer Comments:
Based on the number of plications, I would say the
brachiopod is Camarotoechia grosvenori (Hall).

It is not easy to identify a fossil with a picture. All I
can tell you at this time is that they are rhynchonellid
brachs. If you find a Brach from your location called
Hustedia or Wellerella they are related.
