Here is a very fine 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 three crinoids preserved (2 Eretmocrinus tentor and one Dichocrinus multiplex). ALL of the crinoids are beautifully displayed, with stems present on all of the crinoids. The fossil echinoderms have great color and contrast and are naturally positioned on the rectangular plate of limestone. This is a very detailed crinoid multiple from a classic locality that is now closed to collecting. (The red dots are used for identification.)
