Crinoids Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 I am new to Mississippian strata and have been cleaning crinoids, I have my latest two that I have left that I can not ID, does anyone have any idea? So far I have found 3 pentaramicrinus bimagnaramus, 2 lanecrinus and what I think is a Ethelocrinus. These 5 are not pictured. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mochaccino Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 What is the locality? The first two look like Phanocrinus and the last a Phacelocrinus. Looks like this is a Chesterian formation so Gabe @crinoid1 would be the expert for a precise ID. I am also very curious about those Pentaramicrinus bimagnaramus and "Ethelocrinus" you found. The latter is a Pennsylvanian genus. Mind sharing some photos? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crinoids Posted July 24 Author Share Posted July 24 I am in the buffalo wallow group. This is one of each, all I have photos on me right now, I stick most of the individual calyxs in a Riker mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in a bit of a crinoid graveyard, I've got about 100 individual calyxs not all show in the photo below 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the "Ethelocrinus" I would have to see the dorsal and posterior views of the calyx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
