dre464 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Does anyone have any good sources for identifying crinoids and bryozoans from the Pennsylvanian of central Texas. I've found fragmentary articles and papers on Google Books, but I would like to be able to key the specimens that I have collected. Books would be excellent! Unfortunately, I'm not affiliated with an institution that has access to the latest scholarly works on the subject.

BobWill Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 That's a good book to start with. Lots of nice line drawings and general information. The next step up for local material is Charles Finsley's A Field Guide to Fossils of Texas. It has many excellent photos of the most common fossils from all over the state.
