#crinoids — Public Fediverse posts

My 25 years of palaeoart chronology...

In 2020 I illustrated LOCKED IN TIME, written by Dr Dean Lomax. Here's my "Transient Oasis" painting, depicting animals in and around a colony of crinoids growing on driftwood.

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

I am trying to identify fossils in these thin sections of Silurian sedimentary rocks from Lithuania. Any ideas? I am still learning and lacking so much in experience… 🥺
I think I got the Crinoids right and some Bryozoas, but that’s it.
.
Also, next to these there are some nice cathodoluminescence photos of the same thin sections 🤩 You can see growth zones in them!

Less than a week before #Christmas , so out #fossil hunting during the only warm day of the week.
Location: #MineralWellsFossilPark #MineralWells ( #PaloPinto county) Texas.
#Pennsylvanian ( #Carboniferous ) reef deposit.

Lots of #crinoids and #brachiopods as usual. Quite a few #sponges and large stick #bryozoa (alas no veil bryozoa this time), and 3 distinct species of #gastropod.
