Here is an unusual specimen that we recently acquired from an old German collection. It is a very unique crinoid and trilobite association plate from the famous site of Bundenbach, Germany. This piece of slate displays a cephalon of Chotecops sp., a Phacopid trilobite, in the ventral position. The crinoid is a very fine example of Rhadinocrinus dactylus. This crinoid has an extremely small cup with thin arms that bear long pinnules. The large anal sac of the crinoid is easily seen. A section of stem is attached to the crinoid and appears to be anchored to the trilobite cephalon. The fossils are replaced by iron pyrite or "fool's gold" and are nicely positioned on the large rectangular slab of roofing slate. This is a very captivating specimen from a site that is no longer producing fossil specimens.
