This is a very nice multiple plate of crinoids from the Silurian of Morocco. There are three large examples of Scyphocrinites sp. on the slab (the crinoid on the right is preserved in the rare "dorsal" view). This type of camerate crinoid has a large cup composed of many, many stellate plates and long, multi-branching, uniserial arms. The detail of the inflated crinoids is quite nice. The plate structure is very apparent, and the long arms are extremely well defined. The greyish color of the crinoids contrasts beautifully with the reddish-brown matrix. The large crinoids almost fill the HUGE plate of limestone that also contains many other crinoid stems and pieces. This is a very fine multiple specimen of this highly ornamented crinoid from Morocco.
