Brachiopod Rynchonella Fossil | Natural Fossilized | Jurassic | Wapienno, Poland Prasiolite 81 gram Libyan Desert GlassA superb example of fossilized brachiopod from Wapienno, Polanda. The high degree of preservation of the shell makes it much more special. These long articulate brachiopods are characterized by a triangular shell with a spherical profile, powerful ribs, a curved hinge line and a small umbo. The anterior margin shows a tongue like projection. Like most brachiopods, Rhynchonella was a stationary epifaunal suspension feeder. Name: Rynchonella sp.
