Here is a very unusual crinoid from LeGrand, Iowa, one of the most famous crinoid sites in the world. This specimen was found in the 1930s and recently obtained from a major crinoid collection. Crinoids from LeGrand are perhaps the most sought-after crinoids in the world, because of the rich history of the site. This specimen exhibits great detail - the very fine pinnulation of the arms is quite evident, and the unique plate structure of the cup is easily seen. A small part of the fragile stem is still attached. The natural color of the fossil sea lily is also quite striking. This is a very collectible crinoid from this historic locale.
This fossil was collected and obtained legally, and is also being sold legally.
