Here is a fabulous multiple crinoid plate from Gilmore City, Iowa. This classic location has been closed to collecting for a number of years, ever since some drunken fool drove his car over the wall of the quarry. However, we have acquired a lot of crinoids from a local collector who had them stashed away for decades. The plate has EIGHT excellent crinoids preserved (3 Eretmocrinus tentor, 3 Dichocrinus multiplex, 1 Cercidocrinus cirrifer, and one rare Aorocrinus iola). ALL of the crinoids are beautifully displayed, with LONG stems present on many of the crinoids. The fossil echinoderms have great color and contrast and are naturally positioned on the large, rectangular plate of limestone. This is a very displayable crinoid multiple from an historic fossil locality. (The red dots are used for identification.)
