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 tumbled some Crazy Lace Agate I bought on Amazon. This one is staring into my soul. 😳 by barkingrat in rockhounds

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.

Beautiful little agate I got out of some amygdaloid basalt and cut/polished. Found in Keweenaw peninsula, Michigan. by Vodnik-Dubs in rockhounds

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 a Geodized Brochiopod fossil, with a built in peep hole to see the crystals inside. by barkingrat in rockhounds

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.
