Time for another preview for the 2023 ESCONI Gem, Mineral, and Fossil Show. Expect quite a few more!
Paraspirifer brownockeri is a species of brachiopod from the Silica Shale of Sylvania, Ohio. It lived during the Devonian Period about 390 million years ago. For more information, see Fossil Friday #7, where we highlighted brachiopods from the Silica Shale.
This beautiful specimen is nicely pyritized, which makes it look like a golden sculpture.
