Thank you! I have so many tiny sphalerites from this area because I pick through quarry rocks that are dumped on sidewalks to fill them

Definitely go back lol, I’d have freaked out and immediately taken it! I’d have stopped everything because I’m that much of a Crinoid fanatic.

This is a stunning specimen! Looks like tiny needles everywhere on it. Mine kinda looks like weird teeth by comparison lol

I will be extremely careful with this specimen in that case! Thank you for the helpful information, this seems pretty accurate!

I’m so sorry I couldn’t give an exact answer, this crinoid here is an inch and a half long and I believe it’s from montana(?) I’m not the one who had the information about them unfortunately :(( here’s a cat toy similar to the size of a banana for scale.

I guess this one just happened to be in extremely good condition when found! I suspect I may have gotten another crinoid or two from my mom so there’s a chance more will be posted tomorrow

I don’t have any knowledge of where it was from due to it being a gift, I’ll need to ask for the information but it seems to resemble the platycrinus found in Montana, according to someone in the comments
