Here is a beautiful multiple crinoid plate from Gilmore City, Iowa. The plate has four crinoids preserved of THREE DIFFERENT TYPES (2 Aorocrinus iola, 1 Dichocrinus multiplex, and 1 Cercidocrinus cirrifer). All of the crinoids are beautifully displayed, with LONG stems present on many of the crinoids. One of the crinoids is even preserved in the ''starburst'' position, which is quite aesthetic. The fossil echinoderms have great color and contrast and are naturally positioned on the large matrix plate. This is a very displayable crinoid multiple from a classic locality. (The red dots are used for identification.)
This fossil was collected and obtained legally, and is also being sold legally.
