Hyperoblastus reimanni Silica formation David Thompson

Submitted on 2010-11-26 by David Thompson

Location (approximate): Milan, Washtenaw, MI

Strat unit: Silica formation

Submitter notes: This crushed(see next photo entry for crushed side) example is to show what a blastoid in this condition might look like. It is 11.5 mm high by 9.8 mm wide at the widest. This was collected in 1991 from the Martin-Marietta spoil piles in Milan, MI where blastoids are far more rare then, for example, at Paulding, OH.

Eleutherocrinus cassedayi Hungry Hollow formation David Thompson

Submitted on 2010-11-26 by David Thompson

Location (approximate): Thedford, Lambton, ON

Strat unit: Hungry Hollow formation

Submitter notes: This is a not too good example of this rare and unusual blastoid. Eleutherocrinus cassedayi from the Hungry Hollow formation at the 'tileyard' at Thedford, Ontario, Canada. The blastoid is 17 mm long and 9 mm wide.Better examples are shown on this website but these are so rare that all examples should be looked at and any partial collected.It is believed that these blastoids were not attached as adults and able to move independently.
