Spirifera vericosa Brachiopod


Spirifera vericosa brachiopod found in Jeffersonville Limestone of Clark County, Indiana.  Animal existed in the Devonian period.  These small but well defined brachiopods are sometimes used in jewelry.

UPDATE: I changed the identification of this brachiopod from Mucrospirifer to Spirifera.
