random association of snail and brachiopod

Submitted by: Ken Dobson
Taxon: Orthospirifer cooperi, Platyceras bucculentum
Submit date: 2008-10-07
Location (approximate): Milan, Washtenaw, MI
Stratigraphy: Silica Formation
Age: Erian (Middle Devonian)
Submitter notes: This seems to be just a random association between this Platyceras snail and the large brachiopod, Orthospirifer. These are always suspect as the snails are noted to bore into brachiopods to eat their contents as they also did with crinoids.
