This is fabulous split pair double example of very uncommon echinoderms. These are detailed Gogia palmeri (label says G. palmeri, but could now be G. juvalorum) from Idaho. This specimen was found by George Lee in 1976. These primitive echinoderms used to be known as eocrinoids, but have now been re-classified as cystoids. The preservation of these primitive echinoderms is wonderful. The large-plated, ornate calyces and many of the long, segmented arms are extremely detailed and well preserved. The cystoids have great natural color and contrast and are naturally showcased on BOTH matrix plates. This is a very rare split pair, multiple specimen of this rare, primitive echinoderm from the Spence Shale of Idaho.
