Here is an incredible multiple crinoid plate from Gilmore City, Iowa. The plate has THIRTEEN excellent crinoids preserved (7 Eretmocrinus tentor, 3 Dichocrinus multiplex, and 3 rare Aorocrinus iola). ALL of the crinoids are beautifully displayed, with LONG stems present on many of the crinoids. The fossil echinoderms have great color and contrast and are naturally positioned on the large, rectangular plate of limestone. This is a very collectible crinoid multiple from this historic fossil locality. (The red dots are used for identification.)
