IMG_1549, Eurypterid, $500.jpg (514635 bytes) Eurypterus remipes is an ancient ancestor to the modern horseshoe crab. These Eurypterid fossils are Silurian in age and typically are found in the shale deposits of the northeastern US and southeastern Canada. This particular specimen is mostly intact and ~85 cm long; the matrix block is ~15 by 17 cm. It was recovered from the Fiddlers Green Formation, Herkimer County, New York. Reasonably priced at $500.00, it is an affordable good quality Eurypterid for display and collector enjoyment. SOLD

 

Crinoid plate, 11, $3500.jpg (330183 bytes) Here is an outstanding collector crinoid plate from the famous Crawfordsville, Indiana, location.

This spectacular specimen has been in our personal display for several years but someone else should enjoy it now. The plate is priced at $3500.00.
