Strange Crinoid

A nice Phacelocrinus from the Bagor limestone in AL. It is coated with some minerals from a lake, so you cant see a lot of the crinoid :(

I'm gonna try to fix that :D

Del (N.AL Hunter) must be beside himself, having a neighbor (relatively speaking) who's finding fossils like this :)

I would assume that with the right 'media' that would clean up nicely? Nice find.

Here is the prepped crinoid. It was prepped by crinus, and he did an AMAZING job. This is now one of my favorites in my collection.

Crinus is a nice guy; he and his better half stopped by the shop on Sunday, after having gone to the Smithsonian to see some of his fossils that are on display there.

Hahaha thanks. I am not sure which ones I like better either, but I guess it depends on what day it is.
