Dasciocrinus spinosus crinoid from Alabama

Here is a pretty decent calyx of a Dasciocrinus spinosus crinoid from the Bangor Limestone of Alabama. It looks like the whole calyx is present with a good portion of the arms intact as well. There are even some pinnules showing on the left most arm.

I purchased this specimen from a seller on E-bay names Larrysfossils. The Bangor Limestone is Mississippian in age and can be found across the south east United States.

Hardouinia bassleri echinoid from Alabama

From the Cretaceous (Santonian stage) Tombigbee Sand Member of the Eutaw Formation in Montgomery county, Alabama comes this echinoid called Hardouinia bassleri. I received it as a gift from a visiting friend from Georgia.
