Collector's Guide to Fort Payne Crinoids and Blastoids is the ultimate resource for identifying the fossils of these remarkable echinoderms, which thrived in a warm, equatorial sea millions of years ago when North America was entirely submerged.
These elusive fossils, belonging to the same family as starfish, sea urchins, and sand dollars, are rarely showcased at gem, mineral, and fossil shows, and are not frequently featured in major museums. However, William W. Morgan has authored the first comprehensive guide that combines high-quality color photographs with detailed descriptive text to unravel the mysteries of these fascinating fossils.
This guide showcases a collection of the finest specimens curated in prestigious invertebrate fossil museums, including the Smithsonian. Each photograph in the book offers multiple perspectives, allowing readers to examine the intricate details of these ancient creatures up close.
What sets this guide apart is Morgan's inclusion of unlabeled photographs, challenging readers to test their identification skills and discern the subtle features that distinguish one species from another. This hands-on approach adds an element of excitement and engagement to the learning process, making it an invaluable resource for both amateur and professional fossil enthusiasts.
Whether you're a seasoned collector or a curious beginner, Collector's Guide to Fort Payne Crinoids and Blastoids is a must-have companion that will deepen your understanding of these ancient marine organisms and inspire you to explore the wonders of the fossil world.
