This is a very fine multiple crinoid plate from Canada. The Archaeocrinus has great plate structure and long sinuous feathery arms. The Cupulocrinus has fine plate structure and a very long stem. The crinoids contrast nicely with the matrix and are well centered on the squared block. There are even a few bryozoans present on the piece. This is a good sized slab representing two different Ordovician crinoids from Canada.
