Crinoids

The best finds that day were crinoids. 

See Pics of Cindy's Crinoid Finds

Crinoids that this author photographed include this nice specimen. Much if the calyx has worn away, though. It's still nice.

Here's an Ectenocrinus. But it's hard to see because we wetted it before I photographed it.

Several examples of crinoid stems bent in a circle, wrapped around other fossils, were found. This is a type of holdfast.

Trilobites

Most of the trilobites found were Flexicalymene. Of these, many were partials on the surface of rocks. Here's a couple of them.

I think the specimen below was a Flexi, but looking at the picture now, with the glare from the water when we tried to wash it, it looks a bit like an Ceraurus. Whoever found this, can you send me an email and let me know? Or bring it to the meeting.

Here's a cute little Rhusophycus (borrow) of an Isotelus trilobite!
