Here is an unique plate of uncommon 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. The plate has four crinoids preserved (Eretmocrinus tentor, Rhodocrinus douglassi serpens, Rhodocrinus douglassi multidactylus, and Culmicrinus thomasi). All of the crinoids are beautifully displayed, with LONG stems present on some of the crinoids. The fossil echinoderms have great color and contrast and are naturally positioned on the large plate of limestone. This is a very collectible crinoid multiple of very uncommon species from a classic locality that is now closed to collecting. (The red dots are used for identification.)
This fossil was collected and obtained legally, and is also being sold legally.
