This page isn't really ready for prime time yet, but I figured I'd get these
images up here and just tweak the page as I tweaked the photos. I will add more
description and labeled photos as time permits.
I might be jumping the gun, but it seems like what we have here are three
basals, two radials and
two spinose primibrachs (possibly CD basal in the middle, followed by the C and
D rays; C radial being
the one with damage near its proximal apex).
Now, here are a few photos of the other side of the rock which this crinoid is
eroding out of.
In this image (specifically near the bottom, right of center on this piece of
matrix), you can see
another radial and what is presumably the spinose primibrach (much less of its
spine left in tact than
the two on the other side) of the same ray.
Also on this side of the rock, you can see other miscellaneous pieces and parts,
presumably at least
some of which were originally from this same crinoid.
This one is looking up at the crinoid from below the basal circlet. The main
visible portion of this
specimen are on the surface of the rock near the top of this photo.
You can see the third visible spinose primibrach protruding outward from the
surface near the bottom
of the photo.
I neglected to take a photo showing the view looking 'down' on this crinoid.
That
view reveals more of this pretty specimen that just might be helpful in the
attempt
at identification. So, I will snap the shot and upload it soon.
