This is a very distinct cystoid. It is a detailed example of Caryocrinites ornatus from the Rochester Shale of New York. This type of primitive echinoderm has a somewhat ovate cup comprised of large, highly ornamented plates - the plate structure of this specimen is easily seen. A long stem is still intact, and two arms are even preserved (RARE). The fossil has very good color and contrast and is well showcased on the large plate of shale. This is a very fine specimen of Caryocrinites from the Silurian of New York.
