Name:
Ichthyocrinus laevis
Geologic Age: Middle Silurian
Stratigraphic detail: Rochester Shale Formation
Location: Middleport, New York
Comments: This is an EXTREMELY RARE Crinoid
Plate! There have been 3 of these crinoid plates dug from the quarry in
the last 10 years.. I managed to get 2 of them from the quarry digger/preparators.
This specimen is a very nice, 3-D specimen! There are 2 crinoids on the
plate. The first specimen measures 3
3/4"
long with stem and the second specimen 3
1/8"
long with stem. This is NOT a composite plate. Both specimens were
found together like this. As the preparator was prepping the
specimen he decided to prep the 2nd specimen with the bulk of it exposed 3-D.
This plate, like the next plate being offered was in his personal collection
until I managed to talk him into pulling a few nice plates for me to offer for
sale on my site! This is a RARE opportunity to add a RARE Crinoid to
your collection.. and a DOUBLE no less!
