Brachiopods Fossil Erie County New York Devonian Aged

This Beautiful clam shell fossil fossil from Erie County New York from the Devonian Age, 408,000,000 to 360,000,000 years ago. This stunning specimen is a museaum quality specimen. 

During the Devonian a few freshwater fish began the transition to life on land. Here we see two different tetrapod protoamphibians, one Acanthostega and two Icthyostega in a pool along with three lungfish (Dipterus) and a placoderm (Bothriolepis). Primitive land plants, including the early trees Archeaosigillaria and Archaeopteris, are shown on the shore in the background.
