Tonychapple Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Yesterday at Kilve beach Somerset uk, after 2 hours looking for fossils, I sat down in a strop and my eyes were drawn to this !! please forgive, I know very little about fossiling, but I'd really love to know as much as possible about my find ... I'm hoping some kind soul will take the trouble to give some info .... thanks soooo much in advance - it's really appreciated best wishes - Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Welcome to the Forum! It is a nice crinoid columnal, possibly isocrinid. Can you post much clearer pictures, to see its beauty? 3 " 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.

JohnBrewer Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 That's a nice piece of pentacrinites. You've got good eyes! welcome to the forum 1 John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Thank you for the picture! It looks close to Isocrinus. For example, Isocrinus cf. robustus is a common crinoid of the Lower Jurrasic of England. This document might help with more details: Hunter, A.W. , Clark, N.D.L. 2009. The discovery of Isocrinus cf. robustus from the Lias Group (Lower Jurassic) near Dunrobin Castle, Sutherland, Scotland. Proceedings of the Geologists’ Association, 120(1). pp. 76-78. 7 " 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.

fifbrindacier Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Nice little isocrinus. "On ne voit bien que par le coeur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."
