Unique crinoid stem fossil?


Eastonian

Recommended Posts

I attended an estate sale last week and the homeowner collected rocks. Sifting through the 50-cent box, I came across this specimen. It's not a complete crinoid, but the size -- and the size variety -- of the stems was particularly enticing. I haven't a clue about where she may have collected it, but the coral, brachiopods and bryozoan fossils in the box look like those I've collected in Michigan.

The rock looks like a snakeskin agate.

Very neat crinoid piece, and the rock is super cool! Not bad for a buck! :)
