JamieLynn Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Wellll....a successful day today!!! On my continued quest to find all the echies I found something I never really expected to find- Cretaceous Crinoids! It's Isocrinus annulatus. Also found a crushed up Pygopyrina hancockensis, a nice big one. And one sea urchin spine. So a good day in my book! 8 www.fossil-quest.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job on finding that -Christian Opalised fossils are the best: a wonderful mix between paleontology and mineralogy! Q. Where do dinosaurs study? A. At Khaan Academy!...

Shows you can look at something and not even see it!! Yes mam! that is a real cool specimen. Those microscopic spines are pretty special. There are many urchins for which we have no idea what the actual spines looked like. The other spine is classic "cidarid" with those knurled ribs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
