. Crinoid Groups 1-5 1 2 3 4 5 OTHER PARTS |
So far in this formation, I've found 11 crinoids (cup, calyx, crown...) as well as many other crinoid parts (mostly columnals).
There are at least 5 species represented among the specimens (and probably more
- pending current research). I've separated them into 5
groups for now, and on this page I've listed them in the order in which I found
the first one of each group (the number of each
individual specimen is in relation to the order in which I found that particular
crinoid in this formation - not according to its order within the particular
group).
I am currently studying the specimens which I've placed in the "Group #1"
category to determine whether they are slightly
different members of the same species or perhaps different species from
each other. I only have one each of the other species. So, I'm calling them
Species #2 and 3.
I will add the 3rd species and other crinoid parts as I get them photographed
and uploaded.
As I mention elsewhere in my paleontology section, someday I will actually take
(and post) better, more worthy photos of all of the fossils which I display
here. For now though, these will just have to do. :)
