piranha Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 2 hours ago, JamieLynn said: Paciphacops sp. from Oklahoma This one is Kainops raymondi Paciphacops has only 3 or occasionally 4 lenses per lens file.

JamieLynn Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 @piranha ahhhh...just went back and read that section in the book and I see that it is the number of lenses rather than the space between the lenses that determines. This one seems to be a combo of the two with more lenses like Kainops but also larger spaces between the lenses like Paciphacops. The book does say there were some transitional specimens. Hmmm...so I guess I will go with Kainops. Thanks! www.fossil-quest.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranha Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Here is a good match of Kainops raymondi from Campbell 1977. Sometimes with lenses protruding above the sclera and others with narrower sclera between the lenses.

minnbuckeye Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Columnal articulating surfaces of crinoids are fascinating. Kind of like snowflakes, never seeming to be the same whenever I collect in a different area. Noticing these were from Oklahoma. Just returned from my trip!!
