This is a very rare crinoid association piece from the Burlington Formation of Missouri. The crinoid calyx at the top of the piece is Cactocrinus longus. This large crinoid displays great detail - the plates of the calyx are very strongly nodose in appearance. The large anal opening is quite evident on the specimen. The crinoid on the lower right is Platycrinites discoideus. This crinoid also has very nice detail. The unique plate structure is easily seen. The fossils are very 3-dimensional, and the off-white color of the fossils contrasts nicely with the orangish-brown matrix. The natural piece of matrix is littered with crinoid fragments. This is a great example of two unusual crinoids from the Burlington Formation.
