    Description

    Sinocrinus (Crinoid), Alnif, Morocco, Middle Ordovician.  I normally buy minerals at the annual Tucson shows and don't know much about fossils.   But two years ago several of the Moroccan dealers had a number of these fossils.  I had no idea what they were thinking that they impossibly could be soft bodied squids.  A friend from Los Alamos identified them as sinocrinus.  The Moroccans said they are from Alnif, Morocco.  If some or all of this is NOT correct and someone knows more than this, please tell me, and I will update this listing.
    In any case, it is a nice specimen with numerous animals with the best one on display in the center.   There are small  fragments of specimens on the reverse side.  This specimen is 1/2  pound and 3 1/2 inches long.  sino6
    I will combine shipping when specimen safety can be guaranteed which is much of the time.
