Found by my father on drained Lake Freeman in Indiana
in 1993. It is a coral fossil. You might even be able to see
the clams in there. At least two.

Re: Crinoids and clams

That is definitely not a crinoid fossil. It is some sort of coral. This is a crinoid that I found in the Waldron shale in Waldron, Indiana. It is Eucalyptocrinites crassus.

No problem at all. I definitely think you are on the right track. Take care and I would love to see any other fossils you have found.
