North American Pennsylvanian Crinoid Expert?

[Mochaccino]

Hello,

 

Does anyone know who would be the go-to authority on Pennsylvanian crinoids of North America? The most prominent paleontologist I can find based on publications is Harrell Strimple, but he's unfortunately passed away many years ago. I have some specific questions I'd like to ask.

 

Thanks.

My recommendation, who worked on Arizona Pennsylvanian crinoids, passed away: Gary D. Webster. Maybe some of his publications may be of help.

Thank you, both!

Bill Ausich ranks among the best experts on all North American crinoids. You might say he wrote the book on it!
