Fossilised Crinoid deathbeds from Alabama, USA

Fossilised crinoid deathbeds from Russellville, Alabama, USA.

These pieces contain a range of fossils, including bryozoans, corals, crinoid fragments, and bivalves - some of them are really rather well preserved and contain a good variety of fossils; others are less well preserved.

Our current stocks include:

#1 - 48.5x31x15.5MM - a nice specimen with a partial Crinoid calyx, stem and arms. Unfortunately, it does have a large crack running horizontally through the specimen. It can likely be preserved with paraloid or similar, or you might wish to risk splitting it to look for further fossils.
#2 - 67x52.6x18.5MM - a nice specimen with a partial Crinoid calyx, stem and arms, sitting on a tangled mess of bryozoans, corals, and other fossil remains.
#3 - 58x34x11.1MM - a nice specimen with a partial Crinoid calyx, stem and arms.
#4 - 85.6x37x22MM - a specimen with either two or three partial Crinoid calyxs, stems and arms.
#5 - 63x50x11.3MM - a nice specimen with a partial Crinoid calyx, stem and arms, sitting on a tangled mess of bryozoans, corals, and other fossil remains.
#6 - 70.3x50.5x20.5MM - very well defined Crinoid arms, possibly with a little bit of the calyx too. The reverse side is covered with fine detailed fossils.
#7 - 51x37.8x22MM - reasonably well defined Crinoid arms, possibly with a little bit of the calyx too. The reverse side is covered with fine detailed fossils.
#8 - 68x66.5x17MM - a nice specimen with a partial Crinoid calyx and arms, sitting on a tangled mess of bryozoans, corals, and other fossil remains.
#9 - 32.5x23.5x9.5MM - an unfortunately weathered specimen which is probably a small calyx, stem and arms.
#10 - 38.7x31.5x15MM - another weathered specimen with a partial calyx and arms.
#11 - 42x27.5x21MM - another weathered specimen with a partial calyx and arms. The rear has some impressions of bivalves.
#12 - 147.5x77.8x15MM - a larger specimen with two partial crinoids, which are mostly arms and possibly a little partial calyx.
#13 - 60x55x15.5MM - a nice specimen with a partial Crinoid calyx and arms, sitting on a tangled mess of bryozoans, corals, and other fossil remains.
#14 - 51x44.7x18.1MM - a nice specimen with a partial Crinoid calyx and arms. Interestingly there appears to be almost 'hairs' or 'spikes' on parts of this fossil.
#15 - 68.7x57.2x21.5MM - a specimen with two partial crinoids, which are mostly arms and possibly a little partial calyx.
#16 - 57.3x31.6x20.3MM - a partial Crinoid calyx, stem and arms.
#17 - 51.3x48.4x20.5MM - a nice specimen with either one or two partial Crinoid calyx and arms, sitting on a tangled mess of bryozoans, corals, and other fossil remains.
#18 - 69.3x53.7x9.3MM - a nice specimen with a partial Crinoid calyx and arms, sitting on a tangled mess of bryozoans, corals, and other fossil remains. One of the visible pieces is really rather interesting - possibly something like a bryozoan helix/screw.

Frequently asked questions and delivery information

How do we grade stones?

There is no overall universal grading system for the majority of our products. As such, the grades we use are internal only. They simply refer to higher and lower qualities, but they may be entirely different grades to other websites. C grade pieces are of lower quality than B grade, which is lower than A grade.

How does our ordering and delivery process work?

You place an order via the website. When it’s been picked and packed, your order will be marked as completed and dropped off at our local post office. We have an account with the post office called a “Drop and Go” account, which allows the post office staff to process our parcels when they have free time, rather than me queuing up and delaying everyone else.

I get tracking information etc online when this has been completed. I typically do not send tracking information to customers unless they request it – but if you’ve requested tracked postage, it has been sent tracked! If you have any worries or concerns about your parcel being delayed please feel free to get in touch and I’ll send the tracking info over! We also get delivery confirmations for parcels over 25MM thick by default.

How do international orders work?

After Brexit, with the UK leaving the European Union, certain things have changed with regards to international orders. European Union customers will now likely be liable to pay the same amount of import VAT as any other international customers. You will be responsible for any customs and import fees.
