bcfossilcollector Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 (edited) I’m looking for some information regarding this crinoid. It looks typical of the fossil crinoids I’ve seen from Morocco but I’d really appreciate a more learned perspective. A family member is thinking of acquiring this specimen. Only photo I have unfortunately. Thanks. @Tidgy's Dad Edited July 17, 2021 by bcfossilcollector 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 This looks fake. I would pass. The stem and "arms" look carved. 1 4 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

bcfossilcollector Posted July 17, 2021 Author Share Posted July 17, 2021 I’m going to tell them to definitely pass on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really didn’t like what I was looking at in the photo either but I needed some expert analysis to better advise the person considering this specimen. Really appreciate your help! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
