This
is a fabulous multiple crinoid plate from Gilmore City, Iowa. This classic location has been closed to collecting for a number of years, ever since some drunken fool drove his car over the wall of the quarry! The plate has TEN excellent crinoids preserved (3 Eretmocrinus tentor, 4 Dichocrinus multiplex, one Cercidocrinus fimbria, one Aorocrinus iola, and and one rare Unidentified Crinoid). ALL of the crinoids are beautifully displayed, with LONG stems present on many of the crinoids. The distinct fossil echinoderms have great color and contrast and are beautifully showcased on the large, rectangular plate of limestone (fully natural, no compositing!). This is a very displayable and collectible crinoid multiple from an historic fossil locality. (The red dots are used for identification.)
