Description: | An incomplete fossil Clematocrinus retiarius crinoid within a lime mud matrix. The specimen is upside down with the stem missing, but has small arms with many 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
