Here is a very attractive crinoid holdfast from the Silurian of Indiana. The quarry, where this specimen was found, is now filled with water and closed to collecting. This specimen is quite large and is very 3-dimensional. The holdfast has been meticulously prepared to reveal the excellent detail of the fossil. The holdfast branches and branches and branches - the branching seems to go on forever, right down to the very tiny tips. The fossil has good color and contrast. It is well centered on a large, rounded plate of matrix that also contains two brachiopods. This is an excellent example of an unusual crinoid holdfast.
