Have you been to the echinoderm section of my web page to see the other echinoderms.Echinoderms You have some really nice Bundenbach cystoids. I do have one somewhere in my collection but not nearly as nice as yours. Edited January 16, 2010 by crinus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilshale Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Thanks for the link. It really is a great page about fossils! I always loved these Ordovician Crinoids and Echinoderms from Ontario. What a pity, I never came close to the Bobcaygeon formation. Would like to dig there! Thomas Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes (Confucius, 551 BC - 479 BC).
