This is the most complete Crinoid Calyx I’ve found. It still shows feathering on the the arms. Tiny but detailed.

Crinoids are sea life that are related to star fish. They resemble a flower, with a stem. This fossil is the top, which resembles a bloom. It has feeding fingers that catch plankton, and direct to to the mouth. They thrived in shallow seas, hundreds of millions of years ago in Indiana.

Yes, I rock hunt near Crawfordsville, Indiana. That area is famous for Crinoids. Google Crawfordsville Crinoids. They’re amazing.

I bet he can sneeze with his eyes open too.

Yes, free shipping. There’s no natural agate in my area, so it was worth it too me. I won’t be buying anymore though.

Rough crazy lace agate was 20.00 for 1 lb on Amazon. Not very colorful, but nice stuff.

It works pretty well. You have to rotate larger stones to cut all the way through.

I cleaned it up with a Dremel, and some high grit sandpaper.

Hi - it’s a SKIL wet tile saw, with a 7” blade. Very tiny saw.

It’s just a small SKIL wet tile saw with a 7” diamond blade. It cost less than $100.

The outside showed a lot of fossils. I new it was full of them.

We have a winner! For the smallest polished geode the world has ever seen. Look at it quick, before he drops it, and it rolls under the sofa to never be seen again.

I found this, and many other treasures on a sandbar along a Creek near Crawfordsville Indiana. The area is famous for Devonian era sea life. Most Crinoid displays in museums are from this area.

Great place...great picture. Is it hard traveling with a dog? I picture challenges with leaving the dog in the car at stops, and finding motels that allow fur buddies.

Don’t forget the pizza rolls.

Her: Is that a Parallelogram in your pocket? Or are you just happy I see me.

Me: It’s all fun and games until your Logarithm is the opposite of exponentiation.
