Plectorspira ferita brachiopod from Germany

Following up on the previous post of Plectospira longirostrus, here is Plectospira ferita. It's from the same location as the other fossils: Junkerberg Formation (Devonian, Eifelian stage) near Rommersheim, Germany.

P. ferita is wider than P. longirostris but about the same length with the same zig zag shaped commissure (where the two valves meet in the anterior).
