April Fools Day Hunt Part Ii

Recommended Posts

Hay guys Sorry haven't been n for the past few weeks had a tooth pulled and it got infected after MAPS!!! Was no fun. I was in bed pretty much for a week straight. I hate dentists. :( But any who I have been feeling better the last few days and so I finally was able to get started on the finds form the great Sunday trip after the show. So here are the first two. Need a little help with the little one. I am totally confused on it. The caylix almost looks Platycrinites-ish but the way the stem twist is so distinctly Camptocrinus?????

The first crinoid is a Camptocrinus. I agree that the second is a Hypselocrinus and after much debate we think that the last crinoid is an Aulocrinus. That should make you very happy.
