Klein Quarry IA Crinoid


Roby

Recommended Posts

Below is an example of a Box Crinoid I was lucky to find in 2017 with the Cedar Valley Rock and Mineral Society in 2017.  This quarry can produce Devonian Phacops, Greenops, Crinoids and Fish parts, besides lots of brachiopods . Been going here and the Conklin quarries for close to a decade.  Finally found a complete Crinoid.  This one is a Camerate Crinoid, more common name Box Crinoid.

Sorry I cant help with an ID, just wanted to say what a nice looking crinoid that is!  Did you do the preparation yourself, it looks very good?  What a nice addition to a collection!

 

Welcome to the forum and keep those nice specimens coming!

In this case no.  It was found before I started doing my own prep.  I will post another that is my first crinoid prep, also Devonian.

I got the ID from either Tom Williams or a Devonian paleontologist that present during an ESCONI general meeting.  If you think what I have is off do let me know.
