Submitted by: Mike Topor
Taxon: Synbathocrinus sp.
Submit date: 2008-03-02
Location (approximate): Arkona, Lambton, ON
Stratigraphy: Hungry Hollow Formation
Age: Erian (Middle Devonian)
Submitter notes: The Hungry Hollow member coral zone was a high energy environment fragmenting many crinoids. Crinoid plates and stem fragments are common. Complete calyxes are very rare and partial or whole crowns are exceedingly rare! This cladid crinoid is the most common in the formation, however, all complete calyxes are considered rare. The specimen is 17mm in height and approximately 8.5mm wide.
