rew Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 (edited) Here's a simple looking crinoid I'd like identified from the Edwardsville Formation. It's the crinoid in the center of the photograph. Two non-branching arms spring from each radial. The crown (calyx and arms exclusive of the stem) is about 5 cm long.

rew Posted February 21, 2022 Author Share Posted February 21, 2022 So far I still don't have this crinoid identified. I've been thinking it might be an Aulocrinus. Does anyone have an opinion on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rew Posted February 21, 2022 Author Share Posted February 21, 2022 I believe I have it identified now: Scytalocrinus decadactylus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
