Hello everyone. I’m an amateur fossil hunter that goes out occasionally by our cabin in central Montana. We often find crinoid rings which are common. Found this today which made my day! I’m wondering if anyone can help ID which family or group this is from? Found in Judith Basin County in the Little Belt Mountains. Thank you!!

Once again I took my boys out to get some fresh air and enjoy a nice New York day. The weather was in the high 60's, which for us Northerners is like being in the tropics. First I took them to shoot their BB guns. The black flies were horrendous at the spot we chose to stop at. Thankfully, I brought some bug spray and that kept those pesky buggers at bay. When we were done I took them to a spot not to far away in Boridino, which is on the east side of Skaneatles lake. There is a roadcut which I think I posted about a couple years back. The outcrop is a hard limestone which has a layer which is made up of millions of criniod segments. We didnt stay here long as this spot is not productive for any worthwhile specimens. But I needed some sort of fossil fix, even if only to view the criniod pieces. Devin spotted some snakes sunbathing, which turned out to be the highlight of the day.
