Here is a post prep picture of Platycrinites found on a early July fossil hunt in SE Iowa (see previous trip report). These crinoids have a columnar stem with a twisted pattern, making them very interesting. My daughter can't look at it without thinking tapeworm. I have to somewhat agree but still see the beauty in this crinoid!!

That is very interesting Mike. Makes me want to more seriously look at a trip to the Iowa Pennsylvanian and Mississippian. I must get busy - haha.
