Here is a 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 four crinoids preserved (2 Eretmocrinus tentor and 2 Dichocrinus multiplex).The crinoids are beautifully displayed, some with stems present. The fossil echinoderms have good color and contrast and are naturally positioned on the natural plate of limestone. This is a very affordable crinoid multiple from a classic locality that is now closed to collecting.
This fossil was collected and obtained legally, and is also being sold legally.
