Missouri Spirifer Brachiopod fossil specimen

Missouri Spirifer Brachiopod Identification

Spirifer Brachiopod is a realistic Missouri fossil profile built around winged brachiopod with strongly extended hinge line. In this state, success usually comes from learning Mississippian limestones, chert gravels, and shale roadcuts, then timing runoff, reservoir drawdown, surf cuts, or road work that exposes fresh fossil-bearing rock instead of hunting blindly.

  • long hinge line
  • deep fold and sulcus
  • strong ribs
