This is a spectacular display plate of Ordovician crinoids. There are SEVENTEEN Eopatelliocrinus scyphogracilis crinoids and one Ptychocrinus splendens preserved on this amazing slab. This superb specimen was recently acquired from a major crinoid collection. The 3-dimensional crinoids on this plate are nicely articulated and have excellent detail - even the unique plate structure is beautifully defined. The delicate, splayed arms showcase the tiny pinnules in ''feathery'' fashion. Many of the sea lilies still have LONG sections of their stems tightly attached. The dark-colored crinoids contrast strikingly with the light-colored matrix. The distinct sea lilies are all wonderfully showcased on the large, rectangular plate of limestone. This is a beautiful display plate of MANY Eopatelliocrinus scyphogracilis from Cape Girardeau, Missouri .
