Pouildu30 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Hi everyone! I have recently acquired a crinoid from an old collection... I have never seen a crinoid of this type before but I think it comes from a famous fossil site maybe it comes from the usa.... I will soon prepare it but before that I need what exact species is that in order to have a mental image of the specimen and so avoid any damages while preparing it .... thanks for your help! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FossilDAWG Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 This might be an Encrinus from the Triassic of Germany. Anyway it is a very nice crinoid . Don 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 I agree with Don. I think it's Encrinus. Very nice specimen. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crinus Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Definitely Encrinus. There isn't much more to prep. It is pretty much what you see. Joe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pouildu30 Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) thanks for your help all of you! Can we think of Encrinus liliformis from the triassic of Germany ? 45 minutes ago, crinus said: Definitely Encrinus. There isn't much more to prep. It is pretty much what you see. Joe In fact the stem is still hiden under a small layer of matrix... a photo as a proof!I will post the result once it is prepped!

Ludwigia Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 If you take care, as I'm sure you will, that should turn out nicely. Looking forward to seeing the end result. This species is always quite impressive. Great acquisition! Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pouildu30 Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 I really think the sandblaster will help with this crinoid! I have bought the rough fossil from an old collection. I don’t like to buy fossils usually but it was in a crate of unprepared stuff and I found it beautiful I couldn’t resist.... on top of that it was pretty cheap considering the beauty it is!
