Here is a spectacular specimen of Barycrinus hoveyi from the famous Mississippian beds of Crawfordsville, Indiana. This type of crinoid has a large, bowl-shaped cup with thin plates and very robust, uniserial arms. This ''sea lily'' is very 3-dimensional and preserves wonderful detail. Most often, this species of crinoid is found with the arms broken off or shortened. All of the arms of this specimen are unusually complete to the very tips. The ramules of the arms are quite evident. A short section of stem is still attached to the cup. The fossil has great color and contrast. The crinoid has been beautifully prepared in high relief for optimal display. It is almost perfectly centered on the oval plate of siltstone. This is a very aesthetic specimen of Barycrinus hoveyi from the Mississippian of Indiana.
