Missouri Crinoid Calyx Identification

Crinoid Calyx is a realistic Missouri fossil profile built around rarer crown portion of sea lilies with cup plates and arm bases. In this state, success usually comes from learning Mississippian limestones, chert gravels, and shale roadcuts, then timing runoff, reservoir drawdown, surf cuts, or road work that exposes fresh fossil-bearing rock instead of hunting blindly.
