Fossilcollector Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Here's a fun piece I recovered from an estate in Australia. It's a crawfordsville piece that was prepped and sold in 1992. It features a large Actinocrinites gibsoni with a large Onychaster flexilis inside. Along with 3 other species of crinoids clustered together. Apparently starfish liked to live in crinoids, or something. -YvW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludwigia Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Very impressive from the ästhetic point of view. Whoever prepared that must have had headaches trying to decide which parts of the Crinoids to remove. Greetings from the Lake of Constance.

My response to that phrase is Pavlovian Yeah, I agree; a quality mixed species find is intrinsically fascinating. The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest N.AL.hunter Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 I wonder if the starfish ate the feces like the platyceras did? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamalama Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Wow! Gotta love the arrangement of the 'noids. Wonder how they all settle that way and then still get buried. -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
