Identification Resources for Carboniferous Crinoids and Bryozoans

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

The following state geological surveys have publications on this subject and Pennsylvanian geology in general: Texas, Oklahoma, Ohio and, of course, Pennsylvania.
