abyssunder Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 The large column looks like it could be from Platycrinites saffordi. Probably there are different species of crinoids embedded in the matrix. A good prep is necesarry for a better ID. Possible species might be : Actinocrinites gibsoni, Agaricocrinus americanus, Cyathocrinites multibrachiatus, Eretmocrinus granuliferus, Gilbertsocrinus dispansus, Hylodecrinus briareus, Macrocrinnus mundulus, Onychocrinus ulrichi. 1 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.

Raggedy Man Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Abyssunder is correct. This will need further prep in order to identify it. The following link provides images of crinoids found in Crawfordsville, Indiana.
