Trilobite and Crinoid ID

Recommended Posts

All right TFF family, my friend who owns a local rock shop is in need of IDs for some trilobites and a crinoid. I think these are probably from Morocco as most of the collection these came from are Moroccan and the trilobite prep looks typical of the area.

Dunno about the ID's, but I LIKE the crinoid.. :drool:

Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties.

The stem on the crinoid suggests Platycrinites.  The twisting flattened oval cross-section is characteristic.

Elegantocrinus hemisphaericus 

Name was changed from Platycrinites.

BTW. The crinoid is not from Morocco.  It is from Crawfordsville, Indiana.  Just making sure he knows this information.
