sassysarah11 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 I recently acquired a small collection; and most specimens were well described....except for a few specimens that at least had age, locality etc .......the attached specimen containing two crinoids and calyx had VERY little information at all. I believe it may be from Illinois, as this was the only information supplied with the specimen. Any help with identification would be greatly appreciated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackson g Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Location could narrow down a better ID. I'd do some searching on matrix differences for formation location if I were you. Both appear to be Mississippian crinoids though. Left looks like Cyathocrinites sp, right looks like Phanocrinus sp. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crinus Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Your rock is from Crawfordsville, Indiana. The crinoids appear to be Cyathocrinites (broken one) and Scytalocrinus. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
