 Description:
A well-preserved example of an Inadunate Cladid crinoid known as Cyathocrinites
harrodi (Family Cyathocrinitidae). Its serially branching arms formed
a most effective basket for filtering out the minute particles upon
which it fed. This one has an attached stem, making it a more desirable
example than many seen |
