Mediospirifer audaculus brachiopod from the Silica Shale
A few months ago I posted about some Mediospirifer audaculus that I'd finally found fully articulated in the Moscow Formation of New York. Now I have a specimen of the same species from the Silica Shale of Milan, Michigan.The specimen below has a pedicle valve that is a little less deep than some of the specimens I have from New York but otherwise it looks very similar.
