説明Dizygocrinus montgomeryensis (Worthen, 1884) - fossil crinoid from the Mississippian of Indiana, USA.Crinoids (sea lilies) are sessile, benthic, filter-feeding, stalked echinoderms that are relatively common in the marine fossil record. Crinoids are also a living group, but are relatively uncommon in modern oceans. A crinoid is essentially a starfish-on-a-stick. The stick, or stem, is composed of numerous stacked columnals, like small poker chips. Stems and individual columnals are the most commonly encountered crinoid fossils in the field. Intact, fossilized crinoid heads (crowns, calices, cups) are unusual. Why? Upon death, the crinoid body starts disintegrating very rapidly. The soft tissues holding the skeletal pieces together decay and the skeleton falls apart.Seen here is Dizygocrinus montgomeryensis from the famous Crawfordsville crinoid fauna in Indiana. The deposit is well known for its abundance of exceptionally preserved, articulated fossil crinoids and other echinoderms. This crinoid occurrence is one of the most spectacular on Earth - it contains at least 63 different crinoid species (Ausich, 1999), many of which are quite sizable.Classification: Animalia, Echinodermata, Crinoidea, Camerata, Monobathrida, BatocrinidaeStratigraphy: Edwardsville Formation, Osagean Stage, upper Lower MississippianLocality: unrecorded/undisclosed site at or near the town of Crawfordsville, Montgomery County, western Indiana, USA---------------Reference cited:Ausich, W.I. 1999.
