Description: Well-preserved examples of a Camerate crinoid Platycrinites brevinodus (Family Platycrinitidae), while the other is an example of the Inadunate crinoid Parisocrinus crawfordsvillensis (Family Euspirocrinidae). This species of Platycrinites has a less contorted stem than some such as Platycrinites hemisphericus. Both of the crinoids are very three-dimensional in aspect, with preservation of the fine pinnules quite evident. This is a fine example of the variety of diverse crinoids to be found in the Crawfordsville deposits.
