  1. Wondering if there is a thing called #FossilFriday. Maybe there should be. I randomly came across this closeup shot of giant crinoid stem pieces from 2009 at a Tucson Gem & Mineral show. The slab was about 4’ long with a few dozen fossils left protruding. If anyone likes I can share a link to an album. #Fossil #Crinoid #paleontology

  3. A drawer of fossil sea-lilies, or crinoids. One of many drawers of Silurian reef fossils from the UK in the #NottNatHist Museum collections

  5. A scattering of fossilized Crinoid stems and segments. Arranged as they lay on an ancient sea bed over 300 million years ago.

  6. Fossilized Solitary Rugose Coral with some fossil Crinoid segments scattered around it.
    These are Carboniferous era marine fossils, deposited here over 300 million years ago.
    County Donegal, Ireland.

  7. Fossilized Crinoid stems and segments. Relatives of Starfish and Sea Urchins, this extinct species of Crinoid once covered the ocean floor in this area. We can find its fossilized remains scattered throughout the rocks in the Burren and Cliffs of Moher UNESCO Geopark.
    County Clare, Ireland.

  8. Fossilized Crinoid stems and segments in a dark sedimentary stone. Looking like the scattered pieces of some long forgotten machine.

  12. Fossilized Crinoid stem with my pinky finger for scale.
    Made up of individual segments, it resembles a tiny stack of coins.

  13. What I think may be a small plate from a fossilized Crinoid. The fine texture on its surface has been preserved almost perfectly for over 300 million years.

  14. Like an unstrung necklace this long Crinoid stem section lies amongst the other 3000 million year old fossilized pieces strewn across this bit of the shoreline.

  17. A character on Nautilus is geeking-out over crinoid fossils. I'm liking this show

  18. Lots of cool finds at Canyon Creek near #yyc today! Some ammonites, corals, plant fragments, and a whole rock of crinoid fragments!

  19. 450-480 million years ago, this sea lily was alive on the seabed. I doubt that I will have that kind of longevity.

  22. Smithsonian NMNH
    @NMNH
    This slab of fossilized crinoid specimens date from 345-280 million years ago and was collected in Indiana. Displaying the wide variety of shapes and sizes found in this class of extinct echinoderms, this specimen includes 15 different species.
    Catalog number USNM S 7342 #museums #fossils #crinoid

  23. It's a crinoid. The same animal we see fossils of from hundreds of millions ago. Most crinoids back then were stalked but most modern ones are unstalked. Like a feathery starfish. There are still some in the deep ocean that move around on their long body.

    Juveniles are fixed with a stem while adults are free. The largest fossil found so far is 40 meters long.

  24. Large pieces of fossilized Crinoid stems. Crinoids are relatives of Starfish and Sea urchins that live on the ocean floors. When they die their bodies often break up into segments like the ones we see fossilized here. County Clare, Ireland.

  25. A #FossilFriday post, my first. They’re the only things I’ve consciously collected & kept with me over the years, while other things (e.g. albums, books) have been pared away, sometimes drastically, in my last few moves. Not a huge or particularly unique collection, mostly ammonites & trilobites. A few I found myself but most of them were purchased. The pos/neg ammonite halves I got in Lyme Regis, so they’re particularly special to me.
