This is a HUGE crinoid holdfast from the Silurian of Indiana. The quarry where this specimen was found is now filled with water and closed to collecting. This holdfast is very well preserved and exhibits fine detail. The central stem is easily seen, and the roots seem to keep branching and branching - the rootlets seem to go on forever, right down to the very tiny tips. The fossil also has many other fossils preserved - brachiopods, bryozoans, crinoid parts, etc. This is a textbook fossil association plate with a large crinoid root system in the center.
This fossil was collected and obtained legally, and is also being sold legally.
