A Couple of New Additions

[FossilNerd]

Here are a couple of new additions to my collection. 
 

I’ve been fascinated with crinoids lately, and am seriously considering them as an area of focus for my collecting and study. 
 

Here is a Macrocrinus mundulus from the Edwardsville Formation (Mississippian) of Indiana. The prescence of most of the arms, cirri, and anal sac are what drew me to the piece. There is an arm curled up to the right of the stem; presumably broken away from the main specimen. As well as a very small calyx in the upper right corner.

 

 

I also picked up this specimen of Glossopteris browniana. It’s from the Illawarra Coal Measures (Permian) from Australia. I’m a sucker for plant fossils. This one was a decent specimen that I picked up at a good price.

Nice acquisitions, my friend.

That crinoid is super.

Hahaha! Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.

Plant fossils and crinoids - Kentucky is a good state to live in for those!

Nice Glossopteris. 

I have a huge soft spot for them
