Here is a gorgeous plate of very detailed crinoids 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 a rare Aorocrinus iola (top) and a fine Dichocrinus multiplex (bottom) preserved on the slab. The crinoids are beautifully displayed very close to each other, which is very unusual. The fossil echinoderms have great color and contrast and are naturally positioned on the natural plate of limestone. This is a very fine pair of crinoids from a classic locality that is now closed to collecting.
