This is an unusual pair of Ordovician crinoids. There are two large Eopatelliocrinus scyphogracilis crinoids preserved on this slab. This fine 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. The dark-colored crinoids contrast strikingly with the light-colored matrix. The distinct sea lilies are wonderfully showcased on the large, semi-rectangular plate of limestone. This is a beautiful pair of Eopatelliocrinus scyphogracilis from Cape Girardeau, Missouri.
