Huge slab of the 'Balanocrinus' Bed from the cliffs at Eype. The surface covered in 3D remains of Crinoids. Mostly stems and isolated columnals. There is also part of a Brittlestar. This particular bed is rarely exposed and as such this material very rarely comes up for sale. Found back in the 1980's.
