paleonet Living crinoids

["Kenshu Shimada" <kshimada@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everybody,

My colleague at the Univ. at Illinois-Chicago, who teaches Invertebrate Zoology, and I would like to have some comparative teaching specimens of modern crinoids.  Does anybody know where we can purchase (e.g., biological supply companies, individuals, etc.) some preserved specimens of modern stalked and unstalked crinoids?
