Here is a very fine multiple crinoid plate from Gilmore City, Iowa. The plate has SEVEN crinoids preserved (5 Dichocrinus multiplex and two Aorocrinus iola). ALL of the crinoids are beautifully displayed, with stems present on almost all of the crinoids. The fossil echinoderms have great color and contrast and are naturally positioned on the rectangular plate of limestone. This is a very detailed crinoid multiple 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.
