You keep changing your story. Next thing you'll be an atmospheric physicist!
Westwall, now that is another one of your lies. Orogenic has stated from the start that he is a geologist. You are the one that claims a Phd in that subject, then consistently shows ignorance even in the science of geology. And you are the one that consistently calls scientists frauds.
And yet you have never been able to come up with a geologic thing that I wasn't conversant with. You've never been able to point to a lie (for the record oreo boy, and your sock) claimed he was a oceanographic engineer when he first appeared. He also claimed he worked for the State of Florida IIRC.
You're moderator. It is a relatively easy thing for you to put your money where your mouth is and point to the post where I claimed to work for the State of Florida or that I was an oceanographic engineer. You have me confused with someone else, as usual. either that or you are simply lying. As for me being a 'sock', if that were the case, you can have me banned because it is against the rules to have more than one account. Since I don't, and don't have a 'sock', your posts amount to harassment, and has been reported to an administrator. As for being conversant in geologic matter, name five Meramecian species of crinoids, and the formations in which they occur.
Actually I wish I could. The archives only hold about a month of posts though...
As far as your little test go's, I'm not a paleontologist, however i do remember that there are around 25 species of crinoids in the St. Louis Limestone that I did some work on back in the 1970's. Any more than that and you would have to ask a paleontologist.
So are you going to apologize? So when you said "you have never been able to come up with a geologic thing that I wasn't conversant with", that wasn't true, either. I'm not surprised. There are only 13 species of crinioids identified in the St. Louis.
Wow, look at that. I was wrong. It's been 35 years or so... However, I am more correct than you! In actual fact (upon looking it up) there are 28 species of crinoids in the St. Louis Formation. You suck as a scientist if you're that far off.

Very little attention has been paid to crinoids of the St. Louis Limestone since the 19th century. Now that the stratigraphic boundaries of the formation have been delineated (Maples and Waters, 1987) and a collection of crinoids (Harris Stone Quarry, Bainbridge, Indiana) specific to the St. Louis has become available, updated systematics are possible for the crinoids of that formation. The literature (Bassler and Moodey, 1943; Webster, 2003) lists 28 species from the St. Louis Limestone, including 14 camerates, 3 primitive cladids, 9 advanced cladids and 2 flexibles. After evaluation of the available specimens, and analysis of the literature, 22 species are recognized, including 11 camerates, 1 primitive cladid, 8 advanced cladids and 2 flexibles. Six species were rejected including
Amphoracrocrinus amphora, Cyathocrinites globosus, Dichocrinus parvulus, Platycrinites faberi, Platycrinites huntsvillae and
Plaxocrinus sanctiludovici. Three species were synonymized including
Aphelecrinus peculiaris to A. scoparius, Cyathocrinites macadamsi to
Cymbiocrinus dactylus and
Poteriocrinites arrectarius to
Phacelocrinus vanhornei. One new species of
Armenocrinus was identified. Two species,
Stinocrinus? sp. and
Cribanocrinus coxanus, were added that were not previously identified within the St. Louis. Nineteen species were retained as previously listed. These include
Aphelecrinus scoparius, Azygocrinus euconus, Barycrinus spectabilis, Camptocrinus cirrifer, Camptocrinus myelodactylus, Culmicrinus missouriensis, Cymbiocrinus dactylus, Hyrtanecrinus ornatus, Onychocrinus magnus, Pachylocrinus norwoodi, Phacelocrinus dactyliformis, Phacelocrinus vanhornei, Platycrinites niotensis, Platycrinites pumilus, Platycrinites sarae, Talarocrinus cornigerus, Talarocrinus sexlobatus, Talarocrinus simplex and
Taxocrinus shumardianus. These 22 crinoid species help document the transition from predominantly many plated, larger calyx camerates of the underlying Meramecian rocks to the more sparsely plated, smaller calyx camerates and advanced cladids of the overlying Chesterian.
