Specimens    007a    007b


So far, all that is visible on this one (and probably all that is there) are a segment of columnal plates (and a few other disarticulated columnals) and one cup plate of some sort.



I can't really say conclusively that the section of column and the cup plate were originally part of the
same crinoid, but it appears as such due to their proximity to each other as well as their similar
material composition and response to weathering.











The one visible cup plate has ornamentation (small dots) on the outer surface. I have not seen this on any other of my specimens from this formation thus far. So, I'm pretty sure I have a third species here with this one.


Finally, in this photo, you can see the other end of this plate sticking out the other side of the rock.




I will eventually take and then upload better photos of this specimen. Let me know if you'd like to see better images before I get them up here.
