thair Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Went out for a little while Sunday after church with my son. He found the associated plates that are in the bowl in the first picture. They had just begun erroding out so we scooped the up with a portion of the clay and took home. We did not know how much of the cup was there but the second picture is result after puting puzzle together. The other one that is pictured I found about 20 feet away.

BobWill Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Wow! Nicely done. I got an idea how hard that is with my recent effort. Mine wasn't with pieces from the same specimen and not nearly as complete but it got me looking at your crinoids in the gallery. Do you ever find these that have axial plates with spines?

I find the random spins offten but have yet to find associated with other plates of a specific specimen. Still looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erose Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Nice work. Getting good with the super glue. Do you like jigsaw puzzles too? They are like crack cocaine for me. My wife only lets me have them at the extended holidays. Putting together crinoids from loose plates would make me insane..or maybe just more insane.

I would dig out that area and try to find the rest of it. You may be able to complete the whole thing! Looks really nice so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Fossil Hound Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Thair, Love the crinoid! If it ever cools down, I am headed back out your way. I have a tender spot for crinoid cups! Jon "Silence is Golden, but duct tape is Silver." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foshunter Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Amazing find, the crinoid cup is over the top, hope you can find more of the puzzle, would be even more interesting to see it back as it once was-----Tom Grow Old Kicking And Screaming !!"Don't Tread On Me" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
