I found this fossil shell on the coast south of Sydney, and think it's some sort of brachiopod. I've cleaned it up and polished it as well. Any ideas about what species, and sort of age I'm looking at?
Thanks!

Dear Spencer,

you're right. This is a brachiopod that belongs to the order Spiriferida.


Best regards,
Oliver
