Here is a fantastic multiple crinoid plate from Gilmore City, Iowa. This classic location has been closed to collecting for a number of years, ever since some drunken fool drove his car over the wall of the quarry. The plate has TEN crinoids preserved (5 Eretmocrinus tentor, 2 Dichocrinus multiplex, one Cercidocrinus fimbria, one Cercidocrinus cirrifer, and one RARE Rhodocrinites douglassi serpens). ALL of the crinoids are beautifully displayed, with stems present on almost all of the crinoids. The fossil echinoderms have great color and contrast and are naturally positioned on the rectangular plate of limestone. This is a very displayable crinoid multiple from a classic locality that is now closed to collecting. (The red dots are used for identification.)
This fossil was collected and obtained legally, and is also being sold legally.
A Certificate of Authenticity from EXTINCTIONS is included with this specimen.
