BigJim2500 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Bought a nice big Crinoid from a friend of mine. Was found somewhere in Morocco, and apparently is from somewhere in the Devonian period. Is definitely not Schyphocrinites, that being what you usually see from Moroccan Crinoids. Not to good at Crinoid ID myself, so I’m seeking help. Specimen is 9.5” long at longest point, and 7” tall at tallest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigJim2500 Posted May 3, 2018 Author Share Posted May 3, 2018 Thank you! Cupressocrinites definitely looks like a strong match with its thicker “petals”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
