thair Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 I find numerious disarticulated crinoid plates in most of the location I hunt here in the Cen Texas Penn deposits. Complete cups are rare but I have been able to reconstruct some near complete cups when I find associated plates that represent a single cup. The first two pictured below are such reconstructions. The one larger one was found several years ago and even included pieces of arms. The next is one my son and I found last week. I decided to use them as a pattern to put together the other three partials from non-associated plates I have colected over the years. Just thought it would make a better desplay to have several.

Auspex Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 You do magic with your fossils!

Wrangellian Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Cool! I wouldn't have the patience... I barely have the patience to piece together bits of fossil that actually belong together (as most of my finds have pieces that come off during extraction) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fossilized6s Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 That is a mighty fine specimen you have assembled. Those would be fine additions to any collection.
