Some Mississippian Fossils from Kentucky

Recommended Posts

I have three fossils I collected last week in Kentucky during a family visit. The first I know is a partial crinoid head, missing most of the calyx, but what genus/species? It was found near Leitchfield, KY in the Leitchfield Limestone, the Jimmy Dean member. The second, I don't know what it is. It was found in a layer that was rich in crinoid stem pieces. The locality is just north of Elizabethtown , KY. I don't know the formation, but it is certainly Mississippian. The last object I'm not sure is even a fossil though the thing on the bottom is a crinoid stem piece. I don't know if it is attached to the object in question. It was found at the same locality as the second fossil. I would like to thank TFF member Herb for leading me to these two localities. I welcome and all input. Thank you.
