The onandaga also contains fossils of crinoids coral trilibites and brachiopods. Why are there no fossil ferns or primitive pine trees?

What are the most widespread paleozoic fossils?
There are alot of widespread fossil organisms from the Paleozoic; -Brachiopods -Bryozoa -Trilobites -Corals -Crinoids -Gastropods -Nautaloids/Cephalopods -Ostracods -Scolecodonts Once you get to devonian you may be able to find shark teeth. After the Carboniferous, You can find plants, insects, and (rarely) reptiles. Hope this helped!
What fossils are found in sedimentary rock?
The vast majority of visible fossils are marine invertebrates, animals that live in the sea and have no backbone, mostly animals with a hard outer shell. This would include clams, coral, brachiopods, ammonites, and other animals familiar to us, as well as extinct animals like trilobites and crinoids. In some locations the deposits are dominated by fish fossils and more rarely insects.
What kind of fossils can be found in Illinois?
One thing is for sure, you won't find any native dinosaur bones. But there are fossils among the glacially deposited rocks; you can find Ordovician coral, brachiopods, even petrified wood. In the overburden dumps of coal mines you can find a rich variety of Pennsylvanian Age plant life, in particular fern fossils and tree bark. In parts of northern and southern Illinois, areas of marine sedimentary rock are exposed as outcrops. These are rich fields of ancient marine fossils including shark teeth, blastoids, crinoids, formanifera, and even trilobites in certain areas. EDIT: There are several relatively small areas where other sorts Cretacious fossils can be found (near Quincy, Illinois and Far-Southern Illinois). However, it is difficult to find exposed rock in these areas, checking for local quarries/exposed rock areas is the best bet although I have never done this myself. If you CAN get into a quarry in the right area (check a geologic map of illinois) you can possibly find these cretacious fossils--shark/fish teeth, bones of fish/reptillians, rarers items have been found such as peices of dinosaurs but it is doubtful that many will be found. Mazon creek is an easily accessible area for fossils, but it takes patience to find them there--jellfish (boring)...but good finds are fossilized bark, ferns/plants, RARE: fish, spiders, insects, tully monster, etc...
What organisms lived in the Mississippian Era?
The dominate organism that lived in the Mississippian period were giant insects like killer bees and it was mostly warm and rain like and one time some people were walking around Africa and found a giant insects fossil and that ware they made the game Halo.
What life form that lived during the Paleozoic period is an important index fossil?
The life forms that lived during the Paleozoic are Permian, the Carboniferous, (both the Mississippian and the Pennsylvanian), the Devonian,the Silurian, the Ordovician, the Cambrian, and the Precambrian. The Paleozoic Era lasted from 570 to 225 Million Years Ago. Complex forms of life appear. During this 345 million year period, plants and animals underwent rapid evolution.The Paleozoic era lasted about 345 million years. It includes the Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Carboniferous, and Permian periods. Index fossils of the first half of the Paleozoic era are those of invertebrates, such as trilobites, graptolites, and crinoids. Remains of plants and such vertebrates as fish and reptiles make up the index fossils of the second half of this era.
What is the most common type of fossil?
Depends where you are looking, In the Paleozoic it is generally bryozoans, brachiopods, and crinoids.
What is the scientific or latin name for crinoids?

Do crinoids do photosynthesis?
No, they don't. Photosynthesis occurs in the chlorophyll of plants.. Crinoids are animals; do be specific, they are enchinoderms. They are closely related to starfish. Hope this helped!
