. Crinoid Groups 1-5 1 2 3 4 5 OTHER PARTS |

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.
