Notes

Gerard Troost (1776-1850) was a Dutch paleontologist and geologist who came to America in 1810. In 1831 he became State Geologist of Tennessee. His special interest was the crinoid class of the echinoderms. ?The present folder contains diagrams of crinoids, organized by name of species: each one is pasted in front of the name of the corresponding crinoid, with remarks on its provenance or the way it was obtained. A small envelope containing additional diagrams is inserted.
