Devonian Period Brevispirifer gregarius

One of my favorite brachiopods to collect right now because of the wide number of swooping curves on its shell. The fossil is the Brevispirifer gregarius (Clapp, 1857) of the Devonian Period. It was found in Jefferson County, Kentucky in the Jeffersonville Limestone.



 
 

 
Thanks to Herb for letting me photograph these fossils.

Crenistriella Gastropod

These images were sent to me by Dave and I believe they are fossils from the Devonian Period Mahantango Formation found at Seven Springs in Pennsylvania. They are called Crenistriella and they look to be bellerophons.  You can find references to this fossil here.
