Pentamerella arata brachiopod from the Schoharie Formation

Another fossil I acquired from the trade that netted me some ex Rutgers Museum of Geology material are these Pentamerella arata from the Schoharie Formation (part of the Onondaga Limestone, lower Devonian) near New Salem, NY. They are just isolated pedicle valves but the ornamentation and overall shell shape is preserved enough for ID.
