Re: Small tooth or claw?
The website says:
"spinose brachial plate( an axillary plate), "Many stems thicken and branch at the base (resembling a root) and hold the animal fast to the soft substrate". Here's a diagram from that website.
See what you think, reef12, and please post some more pics of your other fossils if you get the chance

I found a picture of one on this website(Ancient Life in Kansas rocks)http://www.kgs.ku.edu/Publications/ancient/f21_crin.html .reef12 said:Here are some pics of Permian from the South western part of the state.
I have quite a Bit more as been at it for 25 years plus.
Still think that is a part of the Calyxes

The first object is definitely a crinoid cup (calyx) spine.

AWESOME fossils, reef! Those bison skulls are so cool---that old caramel patina on them is beautiful!! Post some more when you get the chance and thanks for the lookreef12 said:Yes a Crinoid spine broke it looks near the end is the reason it looks like a claw.
I will post more next week Sandy Creek Girl.

Thanks Sand Creek Girl.
As you live in Osage county should be good for points real good as on the border of the head waters of the Arkansas River try there.
Under a dam area.
Some pics of Charles Rippy who used to be the Paleontologist at the Zoo until he left years ago.
Most all my stuff was on record with him.
