This is a large crinoid holdfast from the Silurian of Indiana. The quarry where this specimen was found is now filled with water and closed to collecting. This holdfast is well preserved and exhibits fine detail. The central stem is easily seen, and the roots seem to keep branching and branching - the rootlets seem to go on forever, right down to the very tiny tips. The fossil has very good color and contrast (better than the picture shows) and is well centered on the 6.8" X 6.8" squared matrix block that also contains trilobite partials. This is a very detailed crinoid root system with star-shaped stem intact.
