I spotted these fossil brachiopods and snails in the walls of Beech Farm Cottages, Wrelton, near Pickering.

We are so excited to share our new logo! Designed by @FossilsH' Dr Jed Atkinson, it combines the iconic white rose of Yorkshire with common Carboniferous fossils of the Yorkshire Dales! The petals are productid brachiopods and the rose centre is a cross section through a coral.
#FossilFriday The Holotype of Hyolithes baconi from the Ordovician Trenton Fm. in Rock County, WI. Hyolitha is a particularly enigmatic group, but was recently classified as a lophophorate, making it closely related to brachiopods. Type Collection @ucmpberkeley
For #FossilFriday here's Haplophrentis carinatus from Stanley Glacier (#BurgessShale) with feeding tentacles preserved. This was a key #fossil that provided a link between #hyoliths and #brachiopods, and it may have a cameo in my upcoming NPGS talk...

Week 4 introduced edrioasteroids.
I always describe them as a combination of starfish and barnacles. They would attach to hard ground or brachiopods. The 5 point symmetry is obvious.
