This is a fabulous example of Gogia spiralis from the Wheeler Shale of Utah. This primitive, extinct echinoderm used to be known as an eocrinoid, but has now been re-classified as a cystoid. This very large specimen is complete and exhibits wonderful detail. The elongate, multi-plated, sac-like holdfast is intact and very distinct. The detailed cystoid has a large-plated, nodose calyx that is quite evident, and twisted, spiraled arms that are beautifully showcased in a splayed position. The striking fossil has excellent natural color and contrast and is wonderfully centered on the squared plate of shale (about 4" x 4"). This is a very large, collectible, textbook example of this very displayable echinoderm from the Middle Cambrian.
