Anathyris brachiopods from Spain
I've been fortunate to be able to trade with a friend in Spain for some interesting brachiopods from the Devonian. Below is Anathyris ezquerrai from the Coladilla formation of Spain and it reminds me of a ducks webbed foot.

I have a second species called Anathyris ferronensis which is similar to A. ezquerrai but it's a little narrower.
