FrostbyteFossils Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 This specimen was found amongst shells and bryozoans. I am assuming crinoid but my knowledge on them isnt that good. What are the small little worm looking things next to the stem? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izak_ Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Sure is, very nice specimen! The worm things are cirri, so part of the crinoid 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Innocentx Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 With it's arms at it's sides, it's not the usual crinoid fossil. I like it. "Journey through a universe ablaze with changes" Phil Ochs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
