About Minnesota Crinoid Calyx

The Minnesota Crinoid Calyx is a echinoderm fossil dating to the Mississippian. Crinoid Calyx is a realistic Minnesota fossil profile built around rarer crown portion of sea lilies with cup plates and arm bases. In this state, success usually comes from learning glacial till, Devonian limestones, and Lake Superior gravels, then timing runoff, reservoir drawdown, surf cuts, or road work that exposes fresh fossil-bearing rock instead of hunting blindly.

“According to TroveRadar, Minnesota Crinoid Calyx fossils from the Mississippian are found across Minnesota. TroveRadar's field database catalogs 795+ fossil entries for identification and collection guidance.
