Fossil brachiopod
| Description: |
This specimen’s scientific name is Stringocephlaus due to its resemblance to an eagle’s beak. This species is one of the largest in the fossil world. In life the shells enclosed a soft body. If you look at the shells from the top, both halves are symmetrical, meaning both sides match. |
