Description: | A complete fossil Clematocrinus retiarius crinoid within a lime mud matrix. The specimen has a fine stem with a number of small branches and small arms with well preserved finer pinnules. Collected from the largest bedding plane of Nodular Member rock face, known as the "Clematocrinus Bed". A virtual lack of related fauna suggests a life assemblage probably within littoral zone where crinoid stems would anchor into sediment. CB
