Guest solius symbiosus Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Nice! Can you get a better pic of the cyclocystoid? Is the third one an Eucalyptocrinus? Are they Silurian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Really nice finds! Can you give us some site data (without giving away the location)? BTW, you should resize your pics to 72 PPI and around 850 wide so that slower connections can open them.

Except for the cyclocystoid, the others were found 3 blocks away from my house while I was hiking - The St genevieve limestone is wonderful for crinoids. Im not very good with cameras, sorry! The crinoids are far nicer in person. I like crinoids...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crinoid1 Posted September 30, 2008 Author Share Posted September 30, 2008 For reference, the first crinoid is a Dinotocrinus, the next two are Platycrinites, and the last one is what i think is a cyclocystoid. (or i hope!) I like crinoids...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest solius symbiosus Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 The St genevieve limestone is wonderful for crinoids. I hunt the St Genevieve In Ky on occasion, but it has been a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
