  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

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

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

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

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

  9. 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.

  10. 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.
    County Donegal, Ireland.

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

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

  14. 450-480 million years ago, this sea lily was alive on the seabed. I doubt that I will have that kind of longevity.

  15. Part of a fossilized Crinoid stem and a Solitary Coral side by side. Deposited there by water currents/Sea movement over 300 million years ago.
