Onychocrinus (Species?)

Mississippian

Onychocrinus sp.

The crown is approximately 1 1/2 inches.

I would appreciate help with identification and references.

Viewer Comments:

Onychocrinus is a flexible crinoid with a very diminutive cup and nothing like the
one in the picture. The pictured one is probably a Zeacrinites or an Alcimocrinus.
Harrell Strimple described something like this from either Oklahoma or Arkansas
in the 70's.
