And now, ladies and gentlemen, the pictures of crinoids found that day. There
were lots of crinoid stems found.
I saw someone had found a nice
Cincinnaticrinus pentagonus
calyx (below).
Here's a really interesting and somewhat mysterious mass of crinoid arms.
This may be a large number of calyxes bunched together, or one crinoid of a type
I cannot identify. Jack? What's your analysis?
I think the coral in the picture below is Streptelasma.
This is a complete coral head of the colonial tabulate coral, Tetradium.
It will be pretty nice once it is cleaned.
This is a broken Tetradium coral (below)
