These crinoids are from a relatively unusual site in Morocco. They are both Cupressocrinites abbreviatus from the Devonian crinoid outcrops. This particular genus is more well known from Germany, but the Moroccan examples are just as impressive. The crinoids have wonderful natural color and excellent contrast. The fossils are extremely inflated and display beautifully on the grey block of limestone. Both crinoids have a section of stem preserved, which is highly unusual. This is a great double example of a Cupressocrinites crinoid from Morocco.
