Gazacrinus sp.

Waldron Shale Formation

Clark County, IN
Silurian

 

Here is an exceedingly rare crinoid that is an undescribed species of Gazacrinus. This crinoid, Gazacrinus sp., is not described out of the Waldron Shale in any professional journals or publications. The crown is almost complete showing the arms splayed out and a small amount of stem. This is one of the rarest crinoids I have found to date.
