Here is a very unusual specimen from the DeRosear Collection. There is a beautiful crinoid from the famous Mississippian layers of Crawfordsville, Indiana. This long-stemmed, 3-dimensional crinoid is a gorgeous example of Abrotocrinus coreyi. This inadunate crinoid has a small, bowl-shaped cup and slender, multi-branching, uniserial arms. The arms are complete to the very tips and display the fine pinnules in wonderful fashion. An extremely long (5 inches long!) stem is still tightly attached to the cup. The crinoid is almost perfectly centered on the large, rectangular plate of matrix. Unfortunately, the picture does not highlight the incredible detail and true beauty of the crinoid. This is a great example of Abrotocrinus coreyi from the DeRosear Collection.
This fossil was collected and obtained legally, and is also being sold legally.
