Fossils-Killer Prep Collector Grade Holocystites scutellatus-Trilobite Crinoid

Description

Offered here is a beautifully prepared, collector grade Holocystites scutellatus cystoid from the Massie Formation (formerly Osgood Formation) from Ripley County, Indiana, Silurian in age. The cystoid measures 1 3/
8
” long and is
totally inflated. The matrix measures 3 1/4” x 3 1/4”.
As you can see from the pictures, the cystoid is nicely articulated and has outstanding quality. W
hat makes this such a unique piece is the bryozoan attached to the cystoid and the small perfect horn coral next to it.
This was prepared by one of the best in the business and the quality shows. Compare this to the ones you see on commercial fossil sites for sale. There is no comparison. This has zero tools or pneumatic marks and the pustules are still present. Most are blasted with 120 psi using aluminum oxide. This was prepared using 40 psi and dolomite. Quality is everything. Sure, you can buy a cheaper less quality one, but when you get it, you won’t be happy with it. Been there, done that.
