This is a very nice plate with three essential complete Eocrinoids of the species Rhopalocystis destombesi. The fourth specimen is not complete. This piece comes with both sides and would even offer some potential for a preparation. Right now this is a nice “split finish Fossil”. A further preparation is nor really necessary. Rhopalocystis destombesi is in this preservation quite rare. However mass accumulations of incomplete specimens are known from condensed layers. | |||
