Crinoids from Diamond Valley

[StephLeigh]

I heard Diamond Valley in Washington Co., Ut had some intact crinoid stems. I didn't find any, and it was hot as Hell today. I ended up with a few finds... Segments in matrix. Always happy to get out and explore. Maybe next time!

Happy 4th!!

Great find. Are them starfish?

Great find. Are them starfish?

They are a type of crinoid that had star-shaped stalk segments rather than the usual circular.

They look to be pentacrinus sp. Nice find!
