This is a fabulous specimen of Paradichocrinus planus from the Mississippian deposits of Crawfordsville, Indiana. This crinoid was recently obtained from a major Midwestern crinoid collection. This crinoid is huge - easily the largest specimen of this particular species we have ever seen. It is 3-dimensional and exhibits gorgeous detail. The large, inflated cup has good plate structure. Usually the arms on this particular species are broken off short or are missing. The extremely long, thin, biserial arms are beautifully displayed on this specimen. The fine pinnulation of the arms is extremely well defined - the arms almost look feathery. A lengthy portion of the stem is attached to the cup. The crinoid has great color and contrast. The fossil is almost perfectly centered on the large, somewhat rectangular plate of siltstone. This is a wonderful display specimen of Paradichocrinus from a major collection.
