Wrangellian Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Did you at least bring home those hand samples you're holding, or did you drop some of them after photographing? EDIT: Never mind, I see you left most of those bryos in the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffrey P Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I was in the neighborhood of Lawrenceburg on my last trip to the Ohio Valley. I opted for St. Leon instead, but next time I will definitely consider this site. You found some excellent specimens. The rock loaded with crinoid stems was my favorite. Congratulations and thanks for sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piranha Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 text from: Mayor, A. 2005 Fossil Legends of the First Americans. Princeton University Press, 446 pp. HOPI AND PUEBLO FOSSIL COLLECTORS At least two types of fossils were collected by the inhabitants of the ancient Homol'ovi ruins (occupied in A.D. 1280 - 1400), near Winslow, west of Petrified Forest, Arizona. Archaeologists noticed that crinoids (the segmented hollow stems of sea lilies) were used for beads, as in countless other paleo-Indian sites across America, and numerous tabular pieces of petrified wood had been brought to the pueblo from the Chinle Formation deposits of the Painted Desert and Petrified Forest. table from: Claassen, C. 2018 The Beads of Indian Knoll.

I don’t know if they did in fact use them as beads, but as a kid we used to call crinoid pieces “Indian Beads” (I know... not politically correct... we were kids...cowboys and Indians...) We would put them on string and make necklaces.
