Unknown crinoids from the UK

[DE&i]

Hi everyone,

 

I've no exact location for this crinoid fossils, only just to say they are from the UK. Although there is some obvious crystal on the reverse and around the side if that's any help.

 

Any additional help will be gladly received.

That's a Carboniferous limestone. Identifying Carboniferous crinoids from bits of pluricolumnal is unreliable but the ones with a star shaped lumen may be Poteriocrinus sp.

What he said, it's a chunk of Carboniferous crinoidal breccia. No sure way of identifying the species that I know without larger pieces and a location.

Hi DarrenElliot!

 

I can't help with the identification, but I just wanted to say that your specimen is really nice, and your photography skills are excellent!

 

Thanks for sharing!
