Auspex Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Congrats on your first crinoid crown!

rockwalker Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Well, I think it is a Crinoid. Found in Danville In. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indy Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Here are some X-radiographs of a few Devonian crinoids from Bundenbach. The Codiacrinus is 45 cm long. You can see how I've inverted the original X-Radiograph. The piece with three crinoids shows Bactrocrinites jaeckeli, Thallocrinus procerus and Rhadinocrinus nanus. The Thallocrinus is ca 6 cm long. The Bactrocrinites is shown in a detail. The Botryocrinus (Bathericrinus) is 8 cm long, a rarity in its own right, but this one also has a tiny (1 cm) sea spider (pycnogonid, Palaeothea) attached. Breathtakingly beautiful ...

Caleb Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Here's a slab of mostly Ectenocrinus(I think) from the Galena formation of Southeast Minnesota. It is very slowly being prepped with an air abrasive unit and still has a long way to go.

Terry C. Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Wow! Those are some great crinoids. I don't have any near that nice but I have a few stems from the upper Mississippian Imo Formation (?) near Leslie, AR in Van Buren County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empty Pockets Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 (edited) No Crinoids here either but I'd love to find some. Crinoids are our state fossil but all I have found are simple stems or individual segments. I suppose I need to get my snoot out of the Ordovician strata once in a while!

nils Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 (edited) Hi! Very nice Crinoids!! My first presentation of a fossil in this forum: Ammonicrinus leunisseni BOHATÝ 2011, found in the early Givetium of the Eifel-Syncline. A weird crinoid, the small crown is completely covered by the furled stem. One of my favorite Size of the specimen is about 2 centimeter. For further Informations about this fancy Crinoid, check this out: http://www.app.pan.p...app20100020.pdf Cheers!

Wrangellian Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Great, just to add to the confusion, they come up with a crinoid that looks like an ammonite! Next it'll be a clam that looks like a tree! So many weird and wonderful things from the Paleozoic.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paleostone Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) Fragments of two species crinoids from bathonian on polish territory. Can anyone identify them to genus or species ? Thanks. Edited October 1, 2012 by paleostone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 (edited) Fragments of two species crinoids from bathonian on polish territory. Can anyone identify them to genus or species ? Thanks. How did you find so many? Those look like columnal crinoid stems to me - I find the occassional stems, but mostly just trace or embeded - like these ones, below. ....and; Here is one still in the matrix....and I need sunlight again to photo my largest columnal crinoid find.
